"One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving."
"When someone sees the same people every day, as had happened with him at the seminary, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own."
"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."
"Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own."
