    Lewis Carroll
    “But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
    "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
    "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
    "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

    “Can you hear the wind, father?
    Remember what mother used to say about the wind?

    The wind cannot defeat a tree with strong roots.

    You are still breathing..

    As long as you can still grab a breath, you fight.
    You breathe. Keep breathing.

    When there is a storm..
    And you stand in front of a tree..
    If you look at its branches, you swear it will fall.
    But if you watch the trunk, you will see its stability.”
    ― Alejandro G. Inarritu

    Juan Ramón Jiménez
    “I am not I.
    I am this one
    walking beside me whom I do not see,
    whom at times I manage to visit,
    and whom at other times I forget;
    who remains calm and silent while I talk,
    and forgives, gently, when I hate,
    who walks where I am not,
    who will remain standing when I die.”
