“In the pairs of mothers and their adult children that I have seen, mothers who cared for their children out of obligation are then cared for in their elderly years by their adult children out of a similar obligation.”

“When I understand myself, I understand you, and out of that understanding comes love. Love is the missing factor; there is a lack of affection, of warmth in relationship; and because we lack that love, that tenderness, that generosity, that mercy in relationship, we escape into mass action which produces further confusion, further misery. We fill our hearts with blueprints for world reform and do not look to that one resolving factor which is love.”
― J. Krishnamurti

“Când te aștepți cel mai puțin, în viață apare un eveniment sau ceva ce te schimbă radical pentru câteva zile, poate săptămâni sau, poate, pentru toată viața. Ceva ce vine de nicăieri, se îndreaptă tot spre nicăieri și lasă o dâră de melancoie în sufletul tău.”
― Elena Druță, Fiind imagine. Eseuri din adolescență

“It’s a luxury to be the owner of one’s time. I think it’s one of the greatest luxuries human beings can afford themselves.”
