Paulo Coelho
“Everyone has his or her own way of learning things. His way isn't the same as mine, nor mine as his. But we're both in search of our destinies, and I respect him for that.”
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Thomas Erikson
“No matter how we choose to communicate, you, the individual, will always be in a minority. Whatever your type of behavior is, the majority will work in a different way. And there’s always going to be more of them.”
Thomas Erikson, Surrounded by Idiots: The Four Types of Human Behavior and How to Effectively Communicate With Each in Business

Charlotte Brontë
“I that evening shut my eyes resolutely against the future: I stopped my ears against the voice that kept warning me of near separation and coming grief. When tea was over and Mrs. Fairfax had taken her knitting, and I had assumed a low seat near her, and Adèle, kneeling on the carpet, had nestled close up to me, and a sense of mutual affection seemed to surround us with a ring of golden peace, I uttered a silent prayer that we might not be parted far or soon; but when, as we thus sat, Mr. Rochester entered, unannounced, and looking at us, seemed to take pleasure in the spectacle of a group so amicable—when he said he supposed the old lady was all right now that she had got her adopted daughter back again, and added that he saw Adèle was “prête à croquer sa petite maman Anglaise”—I half ventured to hope that he would, even after his marriage, keep us together somewhere under the shelter of his protection, and not quite exiled from the sunshine of his presence.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Charlotte Brontë
“He is a good and a great man; but he forgets, pitilessly, the feelings and claims of little people, in pursuing his own large views. It is better, therefore, for the insignificant to keep out of his way, lest, in his progress, he should trample them down.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Thomas Erikson
“I don’t judge someone simply because they aren’t like me.”
Thomas Erikson, Surrounded by Idiots
