In every life there comes a point when you have to make a decision about how you will live.

Helped are those too busy living to respond when they are wrongfully attacked: on their walks they shall find mysteries so intriguing as to distract them from every blow.

I feel like to be where you need to be - where you know you need to be - is such a high. What could be better?

To know is to exist; to exist is to be involved, to move about, to see the world with my own eyes.

I can be almost terminally grief-stricken because things are so dire, but at the same, there's a real lightheartednes s about just the recoverability of life, of how things change, how they're not the same, ever again.

Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.

Human compassion is equal to human cruelty, and it is up to each of us to tip the balance.
