“The more people do, the more society develops, the more problems arise. The increasing desolation of nature, the exhaustion of resources, the uneasiness and disintegration of the human spirit, all have been brought about by humanity's trying to accomplish something.

“I wish the hearts of human beings pumped with kind desires. I wish every gaze landed on the eyes of others compassionately. I wish hatred, envy, and vengeance were alien concepts to humankind. I wish the precious worth of every soul was universally understood.”

“I wish I were … I wish I had … I wish this never happened … I wish I could be … I wish I had chosen to … I wish I could accept myself … I wish I wish I wish!
