People with power always take advantage of those without power.

Sometimes, if I am not careful, and I stare too long at a flower, it shrivels and dies.

I would look up at the moon and see that it was not the smooth orb we had all believed, but a pitted and scarred world with no air.

You search endlessly for permanent happiness in a world where nothing is permanent.

They are so busy, Julia, trying to help the world that they've forgotten how to help themselves. They've forgotten how to be happy, and it is a happy man or woman who helps the world most.

What you wish for, what you most hope for - that is your greatest illusion.

All ends are temporary and all life is born from death.
