"Își aminti rugăciunile învățate de la maică-sa și le găsi un înțeles altădată ascuns minții lui, căci pentru omul fericit, rugăciunea nu-i decât un amestesc monoton și fără sens, până în ziua când durerea vine să-l învețe pe nefericit limbajul sublim cu ajutorul căruia să-i vorbească lui Dumnezeu." — May 25, 2026 09:43AM

"“I used to tell myself, “I wish that I could clone myself three times over.” Looking back, however, I recognize this thought was arrogant and narrow-minded. Our differences are what make each of us so valuable and give life meaning. I’m embarrassed that I ever thought this way." — May 25, 2026 09:44AM

Alexandra’s Quotes

“The more frustrated someone is, the more important it becomes to listen to them. Unless you make a point of this, anything you try to say goes in one ear and out the other. If you interrupt them midsentence and say, “It’s more like this,” it’s only natural for them to think, “This person has absolutely no clue what I’m saying.”
― Satoru Iwata, Ask Iwata: Words of Wisdom from Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's Legendary CEO

“… that’s how we communicate, isn’t it? We’re all over the place: we jump back and forth in time; slow down and expand on some moments; fast-forward through others; editing as we go, minimizing flaws and maximizing assets. We are all the unreliable narrators of our own lives.”
