    "Let me ask — how old are you?" "Twenty-two." "Twenty-two." She looked at me, her eyes wet and green as celadon. "You are very young. I think that you have not built anything yet?" I thought of my life: lessons, a journey, an angel. I shook my head. "No," she murmured. "I thought not. It is dangerous to build. Once you have built something — something that takes all your passion and will — it becomes more precious to you than your own happiness. You don`t realize that, while you are building it. That you are creating a martyrdom — something which, later, will make you suffer."
