“Success is like water, the more thirsty you are for it is the more you will drink it, and you’ll need it forever to survive.”— Werley Nortreus Related Quotes “Why can’t I be like that? Why can’t I be the father who just shrugs off the love of his daughter? Why can’t I be the Lead Inquisitor who enjoys watching his pleading victims burn at the stake? Why can’t I be the one who befriends a lonely, lost girl and then casts her out? Why can’t I be the one to strike first, to hit so early and with such fury that my enemies cower before they can ever think of turning on me? What is so great about being good?”— Marie Lu “If you can’t be liked being kind, then be hated being cruel.”— Joshua Teya “We are born, we grow up, we live our lives as best we can. If we are thoughtful we are good parents and good partners. If we are wise we strive for integrity and intimacy. If we are fortunate we discover love and joy. If we are able, we make the world a little better than we found it. That is all there is for any of us.”— Robert B. Reich
