In his or her life, each person can take one of two attitudes: to build or to plant. Builders may take years over their tasks, but one day they will finish what they are doing. Then they will stop, hemmed in by their own walls. Life becomes meaningless once the building is finished. Those who plant suffer the storms and the seasons and rarely rest. Unlike a building, a garden never stops growing. And by its constant demands on the gardner's attentions, it makes of the gardener's life a great adventure.

No one could make a choice without feeling afraid.

The universe conspires to help the dreamer

Every human being has the right to search for happiness, and by 'happiness' is meant something that makes other people feel content.

Bodies always understand each other, even when the souls do not.
