“...life is not just from within, it extends all around you, whether you wish it to or not.”

“Just remember that life is made up of change. We can’t run away from it.”

“The eyes mirror the heart of a person. An entire life can be seen through them. Love, sorrow, deceit, pain. If you look closely, it’s all there.”

“In the end, it doesn’t matter what words are said or unsaid. . . .Life’s mistakes are made whether you can see them or not. What counts is how we learn to live with them.”

“To read and write will help you understand life. . .to sew and mend will help you survive it.”

“Just don’t ever think you deserve to be beaten.”

“Don’t ever think that just because you do things differently, you’re wrong.”
