“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”

“Expecting the world to treat you fairly
because you are a good person
is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you
because you are a vegetarian.”

“الحياة كلها صعوبات، والدليل على ذلك أن الطفل حين يخرج من الرحم يبدأ الحياة بالبكاء والصراخ، وتستمر الصعوبات يوماً بعد يوم، منذ لحظة الميلاد وحتى ساعة الموت، ولا يخفف منها إلّا النعمة، أما الموت فإنه يضع حدَّا للصعوبات كلها، والدليل أن الميّت يتوقف عن الألم، يتوقف عن الصراخ والاحتجاج، تاركاً هذه المهمة للذين حوله، للذين ما زالوا على قيد الحياة.”
