“I believe that everything happens for a reason.

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
― Albert Einstein

“Is that a scalp?" I whispered to Mr. Swan.
Mr. Swan blinked. "A scalp?"
"Yes, a scalp. From some unfortunate pioneer."
"It's the sole of an old shoe," Mr. Russel grunted.
"I beg your pardon?"
Chief Toke fingered the leather.
"A shoe. He likes to carry it around. Used to be mine." Mr. Russel spit a wad of tobacco, and it barely missed my toe. It seemed that the loathsome habits of the States had been carried to the frontier.
"I see," I said, although I clearly did not.”
― Jennifer L. Holm, Boston Jane: An Adventure

“For as much as many NKOTB fans have been caught off guard by how much this has all meant, so too have some of the guys. Donnie says, "It was a surprise to me how fulfilling it was. It was a surprise to me how emotional it was, how rewarding it was. And quite frankly, how wrapped up in the fans I am. I'm not caught up in the hype. I don't need it. I don't need some fulfillment. I can live without it. But I don't want to. I love making people smile. I love sharing myself. I love the feeling of making people happy. I love the fact that, for whatever reason, I've been put in a position to change people's lives in a simple way. I'm not healing diseases. But I can make someone happy, even for a short time.”
― Nikki Van Noy, New Kids on the Block: Five Brothers and a Million Sisters
