Quote by Luigina Sgarro

“To grow a forest requires the right soil, favourable climatic conditions, sometimes the patient work of caretakers over many years. All it takes to make it burn is a single match thrown by a madman in an instant. To break the silence of a crowd, a shout is enough. To dirty a square, cleaned by the patient work of many, all it takes is a single drunken madman. To do good requires many people united, to do evil requires only one. We are in danger of overestimating the number of wicked or even just ignorant people and underestimating the number of generous people who care about the common good. Let us not be discouraged by the folly of a few, there are many of us. Let us stand united.”

“To be awakened is to be find the light digging the dust.....to open doors to that which lay in slumber.. To be awakened is to chase away the fright and welcome the hope....for it is the pathway to the joy of a new beginning... To be awakened is to take your soul into the light... though the clouds are so thick...for godliness rains through the burst of sky.... To be awakened is to make peace with all that has left and all that remains... To be awakened is to know loss and yet to be in a festival of colors......”

“When you find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stand in front of you when other’s cast stones, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who will hold your hand when your sick, who thinks your pretty without makeup, the one who turns to his friends and say, ‘that’s her’, the one that would bear your rejection because losing you means losing his will to live, who kisses you when you screw up, watches the stars and names one for you and will hold and rock that baby for hours so you can sleep…..you marry him all over again.”

“She sighed, annoyed at her restlessness. “So,” she said, disrupting Wolf in another backward glance. “Who would win in a fight—you or a pack of wolves?” He frowned at her, all seriousness. “Depends,” he said, slowly, like he was trying to figure out her motive for asking. “How big is the pack?” “I don’t know, what’s normal? Six?” “I could win against six,” he said. “Any more than that and it could be a close call.” Scarlet smirked. “You’re not in danger of low self-esteem, at least.” “What do you mean?” “Nothing at all.” She kicked a stone from their path. “How about you and … a lion?” “A cat? Don’t insult me.” She laughed, the sound sharp and surprising. “How about a bear?” “Why, do you see one out there?” “Not yet, but I want to be prepared in case I have to rescue you.” The smile she’d been waiting for warmed his face, a glint of white teeth flashing. “I’m not sure. I’ve never had to fight a bear before.”

“You told me once that you had nothing to learn from your parents because they raised you in times of peace.” He watched the snow pass beneath their feet, then met her eye again. “I disagree. I believe that we all have an opportunity we have not had for fifteen years.” “What’s that?” “To learn to hope. To be caring and kind. To be good again and to love one another because we can, instead of hating each other because it’s safe. Don’t you want to walk in the woods without fearing for your life?”
