"No one is thinking about you. They're thinking about themselves, just like you."
"Nothing is either as bad or as good as it seems."
"The key to success is how you pick yourself up from failure."
"Be honest and kind".
"Only buy clothes that make you feel like doing a small dance".
"Trust your instincts, not your imagination."
"Don't expect the world to be safe or life to be fair."
"Sometimes you have to go with the flow."
"Don't regret anything. Remember there wasn't anything else that culd have happened, given who you were and the state of the world at that moment. The only thing you can change is the present, so learn from the past."
"It is better to buy one expensive thing that you really like than several cheap ones that you only quite like"
"Hardly anything matters: if you get upset, ask yourself, "Does it really matter?"
- from Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination by Helen Fielding
