“lately have thoughts of empathy for my mother and my father and feel the want to care for them both in old age. To reduce their suffering. How do I acquire the resources to do this when I was born with little power? Power can mend suffering in my brothers; my sister - all of my loved ones. This now reminds me of the worthineess of sacrifice. I might be an outcast. I might dance on the outside of society in search of meaning, truth, gold. In search of power. I then have the same thought, but now, for everyone else. We are all parts of one whole. At which point ought the well of empathy run dry?”

“Jake was right--I'm strong in a way June never was. Because I know that I want to be here. Even with the pain. Even with the ugliness. I've seen the other side--marching side by side down city streets with people who all believe they can change the world and the view of the sunset from Fridgehenge and Tom Waits lyrics and doing the waltz and kisses so hot they melt into each other and best friends who hold your hand and stretching out underneath a sky draped with stars and everything else. There is so much beauty in just existing. In being alive. I don't want to miss a second.”

“Как да ви кажа, според мен първоначално човешкият ум е нещо като празно таванче, където всеки прибира ненужни мебели. Глупакът наблъсква каквито му попаднат вехтории, така че знанията, които могат да му бъдат от полза, биват изхвърлени навън поради липса на място или в най-добрия случай са така затрупани с разни неща, че му е трудно да стигне до тях. Друго е квалифицираният труженик: той наистина много внимава какво прибира в тавана, в мозъка си. Не разполага с нищо освен със сечивата, с чиято помощ си върши работата, по пък асортиментът им е голям и ги е подредил по най-съвършен начин. Грешно е да се смята, че малката стаичка е с разтегателни стени и може да се разширява безкрай. Повярвайте ми, идва време, когато за всяко добавено ново познание човек забравя нещо, което някога е знаел. Следователно най-важното е да не се позволи на безполезните факти да изместят полезните”

“Watson, there are those rare people who elicit behaviour from us that others may not. Let me suggest that you were one man on the battlefield, another with your patients, a third altogether with Mary and perhaps a fourth in my company, for example?' 'No, Holmes. I am always myself. Well, perhaps I smoke less around Mary.' He smiled at this. 'But whatever the situation, I try always to be the best man I can be.”
