Value In A Person Quotes

“My father..." Daisy began, then bit her lip. This man was her father's business partner. It was not appropriate to run to Westcliff with complaints. But the patience in his expression encouraged her to continue. "He called me a parasite," she said, keeping her voice soft to avoid disturbing Lillian. "He asked me to tell him how the world has benefitted from my existence, or what I had done for anyone." "And your reply?" Westcliff asked. "I... couldn't think of anything to say."

It's also to pose questions about what it means to be alive. Where does life begin, where does it end -- and point out that there is no single answer to these questions. The problem is people who think there are simple answers. People who see things as simple black-and-white right-and-wrong are the type of people who will end up with a world like the world in Unwind.”

“នៅពេលដែលអ្នកស្លាប់ទៅ មិនមែនគេឲ្យតម្លៃអ្នកថាជាមនុស្សមានតម្លៃ ព្រោះអ្នកមានលុយច្រើន ឬមានសញ្ញាប័ត្រធំនោះទេ តែព្រោះតែជាសមិទ្ធិផល្អសម្រាប់មនុស្សជាជាតិ។”
