Mankind is connected in ways it does not understand - even in dreams.
It's such a shame to waste time. We always think we have so much of it.
Belief, hard work, love–you have those things, you can do anything.
If we knew what comes next, we never would have worried.
Did you feel guilty cursing God--you, of all people?' No,' he said. 'Because even in doing so, I was recognizing there was a greater power than me.' He paused. And that is how I began to heal.
Knowing something and understanding it were not the same thing.
Silence was his escape, but silence is rarely a refuge.
Heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners.
