“One act presses upon another, on a path we have no choice but to follow, and each time there are reasons. We do what we must, we do what we are told, we do what is easiest. What else can we do but solve one sordid problem at a time? Then we look up and find... this.”

“We do what we must, we do what we are told, we do what is easiest. What else can we do but solve one sordid problem at a time? Then one day we look up and find that we are . . . this.”

“What we can do, we must do: we must use what we are given, and we must use it the best we can, however much or little help we have for the task. What you have been given is a hard thing--a very hard thing... But my darling, what if there were no one who could do the difficult things?”

“At times, the repetition of the errors is what helps us to discover where do we mistake us the first time. And once we discover him, we can solve the problem and to leave it behind.”

“The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.”

“We must not be defined by what we do, but we must be what and who we are, then only happen to do what we do!”
