…My beloved daughter.

…Don’t expect anything.

…Do not expect anything at all.

…Do not expect things, and do not count on things. That is the secret to life.

…Every time you tell yourself, ‘Maybe this time,’ the world will whisper back, ‘This time, for certain.’ Being fooled once is an experience, and being fooled twice is a tragedy. But being fooled three times is a farce.

…My dear daughter, you are a noble. Be cautious, and do not let your life become someone else’s joke. Do not let them have three chances.

…Two. Just two wounds are enough to be remembered forever. Those kings of old set up memorials for their death while they were still alive. Do not repeat the foolishness of building monuments in the desert.

…But if you still want to leave something to the world, my daughter, remember. You are not lending your life to someone. Do not try to be someone’s debtor. Give without the intention of getting it back in the first place. Give everything.

…Forgive people for throwing carnivals with your dead body. Give them your hair. Give them your fingers. Give everything, sacrifice everything from your pureness to your naive hopes. They will ravenously desire all of you and enjoy their banquet.
