Steven Spielberg: “My parents taught me how to listen to everybody before I made up my own mind. When you listen, you learn. You absorb like a sponge-and your life becomes so much better than when you are just trying to be listened to all the time.”
Lois McMaster Bujold: “It’s important that someone celebrate our existence… People are the only mirror we have to see ourselves in. The domain of all meaning.

Agnes Repplier: “It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.”
