Mahatma GandhiNow, you receive all your ideas; therefore you receive your wish, you wish therefore necessarily. The word "liberty" does not therefore belong in any way to your will....The will, therefore, is not a faculty that one can call free.

Henri NouwenEvery time I'm in Canada I feel more Swedish, and every time I'm in Sweden I feel more Canadian. I belong in both places and I love them both equally. It's funny because the Swedes claim me as their Swedish pride and the Canadians call me their Canadian girl. I'll take it all.

I hate the planet and the human raceโI am ashamed to belong to such a species.

And now we touch each other with the tenderness of mortals, who know themselves
