“If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.”

“All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.”

“Within every one of us there lives both a Don Quixote and aSancho Panza to whom we hearken by turns; and though Sanchomost persuades us, it is Don Quixote that we find ourselves obligedto admire...”

“Suffering — how divine it is, how misunderstood! We owe to it all that is good in us, all that gives value to life; we owe to it pity, we owe to it courage, we owe to it all the virtues.”

“We do not know what to do with this short life, yet we yearn for another that will be eternal.”

“We chase dreams and embrace shadows.”

“If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.”
