Lemony Snicket
“When a city or a town sets aside a piece of land for public relaxation, it is a sign that someone is thinking about the happiness of someone else”
Lemony Snicket, Poison for Breakfast

Paulo Coelho
“I'll tell everyone that the children are my reason for living, when in reality my life is their reason for living.”
Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die

Zhuangzi
“The baby looks at things all day without winking; that is because his eyes are not focused on any particular object. He goes without knowing where he is going, and stops without knowing what he is doing. He merges himself within the surroundings and moves along with it. These are the principles of mental hygiene.”
Chuang-Tzu

Caitlin Doughty
“Exposing a young child to the realities of love and death is far less dangerous than exposing them to the lie of the happy ending.”
Caitlin Doughty, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory

Zhuangzi
“A frog in a well cannot discuss the ocean, because he is limited by the size of his well. A summer insect cannot discuss ice, because it knows only its own season. A narrow-minded scholar cannot discuss the Tao, because he is constrained by his teachings. Now you have come out of your banks and seen the Great Ocean. You now know your own inferiority, so it is now possible to discuss great principles with you.
井蛙不可以語於海者,拘於虛也;夏蟲不可以語於冰者,篤於時也;曲士不可以語於道者,束於教也。今爾出於崖涘,觀於大海,乃知爾醜,爾將可與語大理矣。”
Zhuangzi, The Way of Chuang Tzu
