Some people will never be more attractive than in that first impression, from a distance, in that light, at that time, in that way we saw them, when our hopes became highest and our wish fulfillment was fully leaded. They will never look better than in that initial, fuzzy-edged glimpse. The impression. The WIDE SHOT.

I come from a family of disciplinarians where you better follow the rules, until you’re man enough to break em.

A denied expectation hurts more than a denied hope, while a fulfilled hope makes us happier than a fulfilled expectation.
