Language allows us to reach out to people, to touch them with our innermost fears, hopes, disappointments, victories. To reach out to people we'll never meet. It's the greatest legacy you could ever leave your children or your loved ones: The history of how you felt.

Actually, years mean nothing. It's what's inside them.

We see in others what we want and what we fear.

Everything that we love will, at some point, be taken away from us. If I think about everyone I love eventually being taken away from me by death, or simply by getting lost from each other in the world, it makes me value them much more now. And I'm much less likely to be indifferent. For me, indifference is the end of life.

Hands have their own language.

I want to do things for people they will never forget. Maybe that’s the best thing I can do in life.

Whether you know it or not, we leave parts of ourselves wherever we go.
