“No matter where you are, you're always a bit on your own, always an outsider.”

“No matter where you are or what you're doing throughout the day, your heart should always be at home.”

“It doesn't matter where you're from - or how you feel... There's always peace in a strong cup of coffee.”

“Does it matter?--losing your legs?...For people will always be kind,And you need not show that you mindWhen the others come in after footballTo gobble their muffins and eggs.Does it matter?--losing your sight?...There's such splendid work for the blind;And people will always be kind,As you sit on the terrace rememberingAnd turning your face to the light.Do they matter?--those dreams from the pit?...You can drink and forget and be glad,And people won't say that you're mad;For they'll know that you've fought for your country,And no one will worry a bit.”

“Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.”

“That was how it always was with Colleen: No matter how sad she felt, there was always this little bit of hope - like a speck of glitter caught in your eyelash - that never went away, no matter what.”
