Quote by Peter Wells

“He wasn't an automaton; he was in many ways - and observers often noticed it and chose the defining adjective - a kind man. Kindness is a quality that is often overlooked beside the noisier virtues and sins. But without it humanity loses something essential to itself: a deeply human quality, maybe even a defining quality - the humane. (Describing Carl Sylvius Volkner)”

“Jean told me that Madonna had been there to visit him the week before I came. Madonna, he said, had asked him to take her on a shopping spree. He asked me why I never asked him to do this and I answered that it never occurred to me to ask him for such a thing. Then I said, "Will you take me on a shopping spree?" And he said, "No, I'm completely broke from Madonna's shopping spree.”
