Quote by Edward Weiss

“Doing, doing, doing!’ cries the teenager. ‘Why do I have to do anything anyway?!’ Here, the adult is usually stuck for an answer. They know the usual answer, (you have to work to live) but the teen knows the reality… their parents are miserable from doing exactly this. Which is why, God has to come first... because that’s where freedom is.”

“И ми се иска да кажа на всички, които имат още майки и бащи, обичайте ги, докато са живи, и непременно им го кажете. Непременно! Защото утре може да е вече късно и думите за благодарност и за обич, които не сте им казали, ще заседнат, тежки и горчиви, във вашите гърди и няма да има земна сила да ги махне! - Докато са живи”

“Alec didn’t recognize the woman, but he recognized that tone of voice.
