  11. Arranged marriages are unfortunate, but it seems much like accidents that leave you crippled; though you may not have much choice in the matter, you do still have control over your reaction to the new situation... given the choice between making the most of it, and staying positive, or falling into depression, denial, and rebellion, which would you choose?
    I know which one would make me happier.

  12. You can never silence a dream, can you, no matter how old.

    Heartbreaking in its truth.
