When someone’s been gone a long time, at first you save up all the things you want to tell them. You try to keep track of everything in your head. But it’s like trying to hold on to a fistful of sand: all the little bits slip out of your hands, and then you’re just clutching air and grit.

In this life, if you desire money you have to sacrifice some of your humanity. The bigger the sacrifice the bigger the reward, like simple economics. But there’s a catch, the sacrifice doesn’t guarantee anything. It’s all about the luck of the draw.
“Don’t be concerned with other people’s impressions of you. They are dazzled and deluded by appearances. Stick with your purpose. This alone will strengthen your will and give your life coherence.”
