“Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.”
“Romance is a bubble which will burst. True love is a seed which will grow into a tree, something strong and beautiful to lean on.”
“Who wants to die? Everything struggles to live. Look at that tree growing up there out of that grating. It gets no sun, and water only when it rains. It's growing out of sour earth. And it's strong because its hard struggle to live is making it strong. My children will be strong that way.”
“If all this tree is from mom and all this tree is from himwhere do I grow my own branches?”
“Laugh and grow strong”
