“هر انسانی به دلیل ذاتش مستعد چیزهای مشخصی است که گاهی خیلی خیلی کوچک اند اما با وجود کوچکی برای آن شخص جزئی از زندگی هستند یا دست کم بهترین چیزی هستند که زندگی برایشان به ارمغان آورده. برای من این چیزها سادگی، راستی و طبیعی بودن اند. لینه همه ی آن ها را داراست و برای همین مرا شیفته ی خود کرده.”

“I am convinced--truly convinced-- that 99% of living is useless. The only--and I mean the ONLY--part of life that is worth anything, is the part where we love a few people in our lives, and to what degree we are able to love them, how much we are able to give, how much of our hearts we are able to put into it. Time moves fast forward; meanwhile, we spend that time on making money, chasing dreams, building names for ourselves, achieving stuff that we want to achieve...time moves fast forward and instead of standing in moments with a few people that we love, we run fast forward with it! We forget how to love a few people given to us to love, we forget how to stay, we forget how to feel, we forget, we forget, we forget, so we can run towards death, leaving behind a house perhaps; kids perhaps; a bank account hopefully; a name worth remembering maybe. But did we love? Did you love? Did you stay? Did you love with all of your heart? Did you? Will you?”
