Quote by Brigitte Bardot

I leave before being left. I decide.

I leave before being left. I decide.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of autonomy and self-empowerment. It suggests that instead of waiting for others to make decisions or take actions that may affect one's life, it is better to take control and make choices for oneself. By leaving a situation or relationship before being left, one preserves their agency and asserts their own power to determine their own path. Making proactive decisions allows individuals to maintain a sense of control over their own lives and avoid potentially painful or negative outcomes.

Would a minute have mattered? No, probably not, although his young son appeared to have a very accurate internal clock. Possibly even 2 minutes would be okay. Three minutes, even. You could go to five minutes, perhaps. But that was just it. If you could go for five minutes, then you'd go to ten, then half an hour, a couple of hours...and not see your son all evening. So that was that. Six o'clock, prompt. Every day. Read to young Sam. No excuses. He'd promised himself that. No excuses. No excuses at all. Once you had a good excuse, you opened the door to bad excuses.
