61 " The world doesn't give things, you take things. "
― Taylor Jenkins Reid , The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
62 " E a, agora que estou sem ela, com mais dinheiro do que tempo para gastar, com meu nome carimbado na história do cinema, percebo o quanto isso é vazio, e me torturo por ter escolhido isso em vez de me orgulhar do meu amor. Mas isso é um luxo. Só quem é rico e famoso pode fazer isso. Concluir que o dinheiro e a fama, depois que obtidos, não valem nada. "
63 " Evelyn looks at me with purpose. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? When you're given an opportunity to change your life, be ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen. The world doesn't give things, you take things. If you learn one thing from me, it should probably be that. "
64 " People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'you're safe with me'- that's intimacy. "
65 " Never let anyone make you feel ordinary. "
66 " Don't ignore half of me so you can fit me into a box. Don't do that. "
67 " You do not know how fast you have been running, how hard you have been working, how truly exhausted you are, until somewhat stands behind you and says, “It’s OK, you can fall down now. I’ll catch you. "
68 " I’m under absolutely no obligation to make sense to you. "
69 " It’s always been fascinating to me how things can be simultaneously true and false, how people can be good and bad all in one, how someone can love you in a way that is beautifully selfless while serving themselves ruthlessly. "
70 " Sometimes reality comes crashing down on you. Other times reality simply waits, patiently, for you to run out of the energy it takes to deny it. "
71 " Please never forget that the sun rises and sets with your smile. At least to me it does. You’re the only thing on this planet worth worshipping. "
72 " Make them pay you what they would pay a white man. "
73 " When you're given an opportunity to change your life, be ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen. The world doesn't give things, you take things. "
74 " I spent half my time loving her and the other half hiding how much I loved her. "
75 " You can be sorry about something and not regret it,” Evelyn says. "
76 " Be wary of men with something to prove. "
77 " You have to find a job that makes your heart feel big instead of one that makes it feel small. "
78 " She always made sure the bad was outweighed by so much good. I...well, I didn't do that for her. I made it fifty-fifty. Which is about the cruelest thing you can do to someone you love, give them just enough good to make them stick through a hell of a lot of bad. "
79 " I know it’s not popular to say. I know everybody’s looking for some sexy marriage nowadays. But I was really happy with your father. I really loved having someone look out for me, having someone to look out for. Having someone to share my days with. "
80 " You wonder what it must be like to be a man, to be so confident that the final say is yours. "
