“But you can build a future out of anything. A scrap, a flicker. The desire to go forward, slowly, one foot at a time. You can build an airy city out of ruins.”
“One cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”
“We used to build temples, and museums are about as close as secular society dares to go in facing up to the idea that a good building can change your life (and a bad one ruin it).”
“One can go to war alone, but you can't build peac alone.”
“It can happen like that. It can build slowly. It can come like a gentle rainfall, or it can slam into you like a tsunami. You are my tsunami, love.”
“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”
