“Anh kể cho tôi nghe về anh đi… Ước mơ lớn nhất của anh là gì?… – Tôi không có những ước mơ lớn. Tôi chỉ đi từng bước nhỏ thôi… Điều quan trọng là bước từng bước nhỏ và luôn tiến về phía trước – Cuộc đời giống như một dòng sông vậy. Nếu em bước những bước quá lớn, dòng chảy sẽ kéo hụt chân em và cuốn em đi mất (Trích “Bước nhỏ vào đời” của Louis Sachar, Lê Thị Hiền dịch, NXB Trẻ, 2010)”

“It's a dangerous thing, going out your front door.”

“I had a long talk with my dear Fat Mary that night, because I had many questions. Could someone actually be beaten to death by such a nun? Did Mother Rufina, the new Superior, know that Sister Clotilda was so cruel? Who let her work with children? Could nuns go to hell?
Fat Mary told me she didn’t know the answers to my questions, but she reminded me that it was her role to take my worries and burdens and keep them for me until a time when I could understand them.”
― Maria Nhambu, Africa's Child
