    Sherman Alexie
    “When it comes to death, we know that laughter and tears are pretty much the same thing.

    And so, laughing and crying, we said good-bye to my grandmother. And when we said goodbye to one grandmother, we said good-bye to all of them.

    Each funeral was a funeral for all of us.

    We lived and died together.

    All of us laughed when they lowered my grandmother into the ground.

    And all of us laughed when they covered her with dirt.

    And all of us laughed as we walked and drove and rode our way back to our lonely, lonely houses.”
    ― Sherman Alexie, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

    for the right principles
    and in the right way.”

    Albert Einstein
    “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.”
