When I was in grade five, my life was planned 20 years ahead. Nowadays it’s precisely four times less. On one hand, I do still make plans, but on the other hand, I’ve learnt to live in present moment and make the most of it.

Every human being is a hostage of the personality and stereotypes. But whereas personality is what is given to you from the start, stereotypes are imposed by others.

I need to know that I have a full control over my life.

Human’s main purpose is to produce descendants, unless, of course, there’s a problem with it.

My idea of a family keeps changing all the time, but I do have this one idea that stays: a family is a moment of security. A marriage is not just a man and a woman, but a unity of two families, their relatives from both sides.

A mother and a child already make a family.

Men, generally, have a lot less confidence in themselves, than women. They need support, at all times, so the marriage is actually a lot more crucial for them, than it is for us.

The origin of everything in this life is a strong feeling.

I don’t do self-deception. If I have a feeling about something, I’m not going to try persuading myself otherwise.

A perfect situation is when a man and a woman share mental, intellectual, and physical connection. Together, they form some kind of a third object, third sex. And from this moment on, they see life through the eyes of this creature.

I’ve never had an ambition to change anything about my personality. What about whims? Well, isn’t it just so cute?

When somebody makes me upset, I’m not going to sit there speculating on their bitterness. Must be a hard time they’re going through or something. But I think I could call myself a happy person — it’s quite rare that somebody makes me upset.

There are periods in life that you just have to live through. Whatever you do, the only thing that matters is time. Those are the most difficult moments for me as I really battle when it comes to being placed in a static situation.

People I’m friends with can, technically, do whatever they like, and I’d still be friends with them. Once I’ve decided that I want to be friends with a person, once I’ve accepted them, under no circumstances am I going to leave them.

I try to abstain from helping anyone unless I’ve been asked to. It could be dangerous.

She’s missed a couple of my phone calls? I don’t consider it to be a good enough reason to get upset with a friend.

Selfishness interferes with our understanding and perception of the reality.

I don’t know how people go camping! How do they live without a shower? For me that’s “over-the-top”. I’d rather have a bear climb into my tent, than be left there without a shower.

I feel attracted to everything beautiful.

Being spoilt with men’s attention since early childhood bears fruit. A woman like that is harder to seduce, but, on the other hand, you can trust her.

I’m not easily surprised with anything.
