“Ah, Ms. Ferrars. I don't know what you hope to accomplish by sitting in the corner.”

“Ah, my poor child, how far gone you are in your blindness! Why did you have me summoned?""I had hopes, I had hopes.""Hopes? Hopes of what?""I do not know. The things we hope for are always the things we do not know.”

“The truth is, time marches on and you have two choices: You move forward, come what may, and you experience all the sour and sweet things that fly at you from around corners, or you sit still. Don't sit still.”

“Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability. ”

“The important thing is to believe. Not to hope but to believe. There is a difference. I believe in these things and so that helps me do what I have to do and accomplish what it is I want to accomplish.”

“I know we didn't accomplish anything, but it felt great to sit there and talk about our place in things.”
