The wisdom of the author was spilled all over this book.
He discuss the first world war started not because of Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassination by a Serbian gunman. Actually Europe was on the brink of exploding and the assassination is just a reason to start it. We blame the gunman from the individual point of view but the economist says World War 1 is inevitable irrespective of any good or bad happening

If you want to make people pay attention to you, Don’t raise your voice instead lower it.

Marriage is a dull long Meal where dessert is served in the beginning.

Tony writes a letter to Adrian to inform about Veronica’s character. A kind of assassination, later the letter will be sent back by Veronica to Tony only to make him understand that she knows about his letter and also to remind him what kind of shit he is…

In one place the author argues that logic and common sense are the same. What Adrian uses is logic but others use common sense.

When Tony tries to reach his ex-girlfriend Veronica by sending an email without any hesitation. The author compares those days when you happened to write a letter to your ex-girlfriend in the night, you may not go out immediately to post it and in the morning you may forget to post it because it may look wasteful and meaningless. But with Email you find no such emotions hence you are in position to tell what you feel in email and messages in the present world.

Author strongly feels our memory is never erased though it may hide very deeply and if you press the name button immediately it will release the entire storage.

You love this book because the character of Tony lives inside of everyone of us and never understands women like veronica…
