by George Frederic Watts (1817–1904)
In the end that was the choice you made,
and it doesn't matter how hard it was to make it.
It matters that you did.
― Cassandra Clare, City of Glass
As much money and life as you could want!
The two things most human beings would choose above all
― the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely
those things that are worst for them.
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
