The gray guilt had grown heavy, refusing to pause its relentless infusion into her joints and marrow. After all, it was her fault her brother was taken.
Thanhha Lai, Butterfly Yellow

Thich Nhat Hanh
The higher our degree of concentration, the greater the quality of our life. Vietnamese girls are often told by their mothers that if they concentrate, they will be more beautiful. This is the kind of beauty that comes from dwelling deeply in the present moment. When a young lady moves inattentively, she does not look as fresh or at ease. Her mother may not use these words, but she is encouraging her daughter to practice Right Concentration
Thich Nhat Hanh, The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching : Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy and Liberation
