“I consider myself a stained-glass window. And this is how I live my life. Closing no doors and covering no windows; I am the multi-colored glass with light filtering through me, in many different shades. Allowing light to shed and fall into many many hues. My job is not to direct anything, but only to filter into many colors. My answer is destiny and my guide is joy. And there you have me.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Leadership is not magnetic personality, that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not "making friends and influencing people", that is flattery.

“Снощи щях да си умра.
Както си лежах, зех да слушам по едно време как ми гасне душата. Гасна, гасна, само една искричка и остана, мъждука тя и нище да изгасне.
Чух тогава ангелско пение и божи звън прозвънтя.
Замириса на тамян.
И гледам, от хълма Голгота два ангела слизат, със сини крилца. Дойдоха при мене.
- Хайде, бабо Дафино, готова ли си?
- Чакайте бе, ангели, почакайте ме още ден, утре е Гергьовден, мойто момче трябва да си дойде, да го видя и утре вечер ще ме отведете, моля Ви се, ангели!
- Оставяме те, защото майчиното желание е по-силно от смъртта!”
― Ekaterina Tomova, Забравените от небето

― Alexis de Tocqueville
