"Și-am ajuns la concluzia că sunt lucruri pe care nu le voi înțelege niciodată,oricât m-aș strădui.Dar mă voi strădui,oricum.
Și că există oameni care nu-mi vor auzi niciodată vocea măruntă,indiferent ce aș avea de ziș.
Dar s-a mai ivit un gând,unul mai bun,pe care aveam să-l port cu mine întreaga zi:Dacă viața mea e doar o notă solitară într-o simfonie eternă,de ce să n-o cânt cât pot de mult și de tare?"
“Because the doctors and nurses understand very well that all the modern pills and treatments are surely great, but sometimes what people really need most of all is a prescription for a break.”
“If you want to see normal people turn into power-hungry dictators in five minutes, all you have to do is say the magic words: “We'd love to hear your suggestions!”
“Don't look on the internet for someone who is exactly like you. Look for someone who isn't. Love is not to never fight. Love is always making up.”
“You should follow yourselves instead.”

“Each sold the most valuable thing he owned in order to buy a gift for
the other. But let me speak a last word to the wise of these days: Of all
who give gifts, these two were the most wise. Of all who give and receive
gifts, such as they are the most wise. Everywhere they are the wise ones.
They are the magi.”
“Love and large-hearted giving, when added together, can
leave deep marks. It is never easy to cover these marks, dear friends—
never easy.”
