“One day, a train will come to your station and take you to the place you've always dreamed of! And then you will see that the place you dreamed of is a complete disappointment for you! And then you will remember the beauties you did not appreciate of the station you left and want to return there - to the place you did not include in your dreams back then!”

“One of the most agonizing problems of human experience is how to deal with disappointment. In our individual lives we all too often distill our frustrations into an essence of bitterness, or drown ourselves in the deep waters of self-pity, or adopt a fatalistic philosophy that whatever happens must happen and all events are determined by necessity. These reactions poison the soul and scar the personality, always harming the person who harbors them more than anyone else. The only healthy answer lies in one’s honest recognition of disappointment even as he still clings to hope, one’s acceptance of finite disappointment even while clinging to infinite hope.”
