Impossible to understand one part without having a sense of the whole. - Vida Winter”

Las vidas humanas no son pedazos de cuerda que podemos separar del nudo que forman con otros pedazos de cuerda para enderezarnos. Las familias son tejidos. Resulta imposible tocar una parte sin hacer vibrar el resto. Resulta imposible
comprender una parte sin poseer una visión del conjunto. - Vida Winter”
