“Treasure the friendship you receive above all. It will survive long after your gold and good health have vanished.”

“Lina couldn't sleep at first, thinking of the old songs and what they meant. Someone, long ago, had hoped that at least a few people would survive and had wanted them to remember her city and the treasure it held, the treasure that was most valuable of all - herself, her family, and all of the generations of people who had lived in that secret place, their purpose, though they didn't know it, to make sure that human beings did not vanish from the world, no matter what happened above.”

“Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate”

“Ask once, believe you have received, and all you have to do to receive is feel good.”

“Giving up giving up—it’s good for your health. Make love like you just stole it. And remember, always wash your hands after you after.”

“When you have your health, you have everything. When you do not have your health, nothing else matters at all.”
