 Few quotes from the book:

 “I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want a woman who is better than I am; a woman who will compel me to bow my head in admiration.” 

 “Sometimes, truth causes pain and suffering. At such times, silence is preferred.” 
“There is something positive hidden in every negative, and something negative hidden in every positive. Life is complicated, and a balanced person can see both sides.”
