“You know, Elise, sometimes our lives have moments of great disappointment. It's difficult at the time, but we have to move beyond.”

“Joy is sometimes a blessing, but it is often a conquest. Our magic moment help us to change and sends us off in search of our dreams. Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and we will experience many disappointments — but all of this is transitory it leaves no permanent mark. And one day we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken.”

“There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual- become clairvoyant. We reach then into reality. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom. It is in the nature of all people to have these experiences; but in our time and under the conditions of our lives, it is only a rare few who are able to continue in the experience and find expression for it.”

“As exciting, difficult, and memorable as our past can be, there comes a time when we have to get on with living.”

“Sometimes we need to fall apart, to be disappointed and to be in pain. Just to be pushed beyond what we think our limitation is.”

“Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and we will experience many disappointments- But all of this is transitory; it leaves no permanent mark.”
