“Pain reaches the heart with electrical speed, but truth moves to the heart as slowly as a glacier.”

“Slowly he lifted his hands in the darkness and held them in mid-air, the fingers spread weakly open. If he reached out with his hands, and if his hands were electric wires, and if his heart were a battery giving life and fire to those hands, and if he reached out with his hands and touched other people, reached out through these stone walls and felt other hands connected with other hearts -- if he did that, would there be a reply, a shock?”

“Perhaps it is how we are made; perhaps words of truth reach us best through the heart, and stories and songs are the language of the heart”

“Happiness is a vector. It can only be defined by the speed at which you're moving away from pain.”

“A heart is made of proteins built by amino acids, animated by electrical impulses.”

“When one of us tells the truth, he makes it easier for all of us to open our hearts to our pain and that of others.”
