...the person you encounter is often more than the person you see.

Who would dream that one can love without being crushed under the weight of it?

When there is suffering, we look for a reason. That reason is easiest found within oneself.

Memories were like sunshine. They warmed you up and left a pleasant glow, but you couldn't hold them.

Sometimes it's best not to see your whole path laid out before you. Let life surprise you...There are more stars out there than just the ones with names. And they're all beautiful.

I'd heard of really bad things Klan folks did to Negroes. Mean, hateful, deadly things. I didn't know they were hateful toward white folks too.

They call themselves the Ku Klux Klan and they hate pretty much everyone who isn't like them. If you have the wrong color, religion, or birthplace, they don't like you. Around here it's mostly foreigners they hate.
