“You're gonna have your own secrets one day, Bela. I know that doesn't mean much to you right now, but it's true. It's one of those things you accumulate in life without even trying. Nobody sets out to keep secrets.”

“I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit. When the mathematician would solve a difficult problem, he first frees the equation of all incumbrances, and reduces it to its simplest terms. So simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run.”

When we recognise that everyone carries invisible burdens and joys, we become softer in our judgments and more generous in our assumptions”
