“You can’t go around making people’s choices for them. Not if you love them.” -Harry Dresden, Peace Talks
[It's hard to respect them that way sometimes, though. I love them and I want the best for them, and if they'd just choose to do things the way that I see them I think they could be so much happier in the long run. It doesn't actually work that way though.]

[Just remember that it can be destroyed in a moment. A hugely important, and yet terribly fragile concept.]
