“I believe there are two ways to love your life, Penny. The first is to work hard to change your life when you feel unsatisfied.'
'That seems about right.' Penny nods.
'The second option may look easier, but is actually more difficult. And even if you do change your life through the first option, you must ultimately get through the second to be at complete peace.'
'And what is that?'
'To accept your life as it is and be grateful. It's easier said than done. But if you can do it, I believe this will help you realise happiness has just been around the corner.”

“Je me pose cette question chaque fois que je pense aux rêves. Pourquoi dormons-nous et pourquoi rêvons-nous ? Je pense que c'est parce que chacun de nous à sa manière est imparfait et défaillant. Que l'on regarde devant soi, comme le premier disciple, ou que l'on soit tourné vers le passé, comme le second disciple, dans les deux cas, il est facile de passer à côté de ce qui compte véritablement. C'est pourquoi le dieu du Temps a confié au troisième disciple le temps du sommeil, pour nous venir en aide. Parfois, avoir dormi profondément suffit pour que les soucis d'hier fondent comme neige au soleil et que la force de vivre le jour suivant nous revienne. Voilà. Que l'on dorme d'un lourd sommeil sans rêves ou que l'on fasse un rêve heureux acheté dans ce Grand Magasin, chacun profite de son temps de sommeil pour mettre de l'ordre dans son passé et préparer le lendemain. Vu sous cet angle, le temps du sommeil n'est plus un temps perdu.”
