“Then if you are selfish, that’s a good sign.” I felt the intense crumpling between my forehead as I stared at him who’s smiling widely while staring at the sky. “Which part of it is a good sign?” I tossed a sharp question. “There’s no way that selfishness will result to good thing.” “Hmmm, it’s different in each people case,” he answered, nodding his head. “Because in every selfish decision you made, responsibility comes next.” “...” “In your case, that selfishness will make you do the responsibility that you must do, even if you hate it.”

"It seems that you don't know me very well, but I'm a very selfish person." "What?" "I can't live in this place knowing that something can happen at any minute. I won't be able to live with myself if I know you're in trouble and I don't do anything to help you when I know I can. How can I face my friends and everyone if they knew we were in ruin? Do you see Dad, I'm very selfish and I only want this for myself." My father looked appalled as I spoke, my words seeming to stir something inside him.

It could suck an egg on this one. “You women are all the same. Afraid of conflict and violence. You’re such a waste.” “I don’t know about that. I can do lots of things, and I’m just sick of doing them for everyone else but me.” “See selfish to the core. What makes you think you deserve to breathe, let alone receive any perks?”

asked Angelina curious about the man's unfeeling views. "It matters, if it's needed. If it's not then it's not important. Well... like me and you, I don't care who you belong to but I just want to be with you." "You're selfish! You shouldn't do that, Alex!" snapped Angelina. "I am selfish. But not everything I do is selfish. I can be selfish for certain things, one of which is having you," Alex replied carefree. It was wrong that what he said was the right thing.

"You're not selfish for choosing to feel something instead of just going through the motions." "But I am." He pulled back slightly, his eyes red and wet. "I'm choosing you over everyone and everything else, choosing my happiness over my duty, choosing desire over devotion. That's the definition of selfish." "Or maybe it's just human." I wiped tears from his cheeks with my thumbs. "Maybe God doesn't want you to suffer for the rest of your life, maybe redemption isn't about denying yourself every good thing, maybe you're allowed to be happy after everything you've been through."

She was quiet for a moment. Then she asked softly, “Are you?” The question didn’t feel like an attack. It felt… genuine. “I don’t know,” I admitted. She leaned back on her hands. “Want to know what selfish actually looks like?” I glanced at her. “It looks like someone who doesn’t care who gets hurt as long as they get what they want.” She shrugged. “You look like someone who’s scared of hurting everyone and ended up doing it anyway.” That hit harder than I expected.

"Your sister is a dog?" "If you think you are, then congratulations, you are! All you have ever done is to think about yourself! No one else but yourself. If it makes you happy, you don't want to know about the other person. If you don't know what that is called, Mara, then let me tell you. It's called SELFISHNESS!" He said the word through his teeth. Then he relaxed a bit with a shrug.

If she wanted out then she'd retaliate back. Fabian endures everything because he loves her. This reminded Cookie of her gullible mother. Now, all she could think of was that Love is a stupid thing. It makes one selfless and at the same time, makes one selfish. It makes one become selfless in a sense that, you do everything in your power to make the one you love happy and while doing that, you careless about yourself or if you'll get hurt along the line.

S'yempre ako. Selfish ba iyong ginawa ko? Nagsakripisyo naman ako ah? Nasaktan din naman ako sa desisyong ginawa ko. Selfish ba iyon kung tatawagin o pagiging selfless? Siguro depende kung kaninong sitwasyon ang inaapakan ko. It's a sacrifice for me but it will be selfishness for other people. "You look so distressed, darling. Successful naman ang event mo, ah?"

“Because you were going to have stayed there despite it being an obvious discomfort to you.” “I wanted to stay because Sharron felt bad. You saw her face, didn't you?” “You wanted to please someone to displease yourself?” He asked, this time with an unreadable expression in his eyes. “When you put it that way, it sounds bad, but sometimes you have to learn how to do that. It's called being unselfish.” “Well, then, aren't I glad that you have me to be selfish for you?” He released my face and we began walking to where his car was parked.
