“A part of us always remains when we leave somewhere. It is a part we can never reclaim even if we revisit the place for it was never ours to begin with. There is so little of ourselves that belongs to us. This body is the earth’s. This heart is yours, and his and theirs. The only thing that is our own is our freedom of will— our freedom to choose our attitudes in life. All else is borrowed. All else is everyone else’s.”

“I hoped for a rose and got lilies. I hoped for the sun and got rain. I hoped for a cat and got puppies. I hoped for Brazil and got Spain. I hoped for a raise and got transferred. I hoped for northwest and got south. I hoped for ice cream and got yogurt. I hoped for a kiss on the mouth. I hoped for more time and got late fees. I hoped for a cruise, got a flight. I hoped for Poseidon, got Hades. I hoped for long days over nights. You may wonder why I keep hoping, As fruitless as it seems to be. But hope is a bow, not an arrow. Its release depends much upon me.”
