“I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one. . . . Humans are caught—in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too—in a net of good and evil. . . . There is no other story. A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well—or ill?”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“People are unrealistic, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.”
― Mother Teresa

“As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”
― Mother Teresa
