4. "The danger of expecting nothing is that, in the end, it might be all we’ll get."

8. "We usually think of ourselves as sitting in the driver's seat, with ultimate control over the decisions we make and the direction our life takes; but, alas, this perception has more to do with our desires—with how we want to view ourselves—than with reality."

9. "The problem is that we are not aware of our irrationality, so we often make bad decisions and stick to them."
