“I hope you will be treated unfairly- So that you will come to know the value of justice.
I hope you will be betrayed- So that you will know the importance of loyalty.
I hope you will be lonely- So that you will know the value of a true friend.
When you lose, I hope your opponent will gloat- So you will understand the importance of sportsmanship.
I hope you will be ignored- So you will learn the importance of listening.
I hope you will have just enough pain that you will understand the importance of compassion.
Whether you wish for these things or not, they are all going to happen to you. But whether you benefit from them, or not, will depend upon you.”

“Write.
In my religion, we're taught that every living thing, every leaf and bird, is only alive because it contains the secret word for Life. It's the only difference between us and the lump of clay- The Word. Words are Life, Liesl. All those blank pages, they are for you to fill. With Life.”
