“Our lives are not our own. From womb to
tomb We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and
every kindness, we birth our future.”
“My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?”
“Belief, like fear or love, is a force to
