“a book is like a sandy path which keeps the indent of footprints.”

“One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.”

“Art is, after all, only a trace – like a footprint which shows that one has walked bravely and in great happiness.”

“One’s options in this world are as vast as the horizon, which is technically a circle and thus infinitely broad. Yet we must choose each step we take with utmost caution, for the footprints we leave behind are as important as the path we will follow. They’re part of the same journey — our story.”

“Keep busy, Sandy ... when you're busy you don't have time to brood ...""Life should be more than keeping busy.""Maybe it should be, but for most of us, it's not.”

“His thoughts skirted Sandy and especially Grace as if they were fatal chasms into which he might tumble.”
