“Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else.”
― The Five People You Meet in Heaven

“All adults have days when we feel completely drained. When we no longer know quite what we spend so much time fighting for, when reality and everyday worries overwhelm us and we wonder how much longer we’re going to be able to carry on. The wonderful thing is that we can all live through far more days like that without breaking than we think. The terrible thing is that we never know exactly how many.”

“Life is like a foot race, Marcus: There will always be people who are faster than you, and there will always be those who are slower than you. What matters, in the end, is how you ran your race.”

“... dělat jak blázen a do úmoru jen proto, abych se dopracoval zaslouženého odpočinku v pohodlí, to není chytré; ovšem nechtít mít pohodlí k odpočinku a nepracovat tudíž vůbec, to rovněž není chytré. A být pořád jenom chytrý a chtít všechno vědět a mít všechno, to je vlastně hloupost. Největší hloupost pak jest chtít být hloupý. To je ovšem divná hloupost, protože vědět, co chtít, to je vůbec největší chytrost. Čili, ono se stalo uměním už jenom být živ po svém.”

“The evil in the world comes almost always from ignorance, and goodwill can cause as much damage as ill-will if it is not enlightened. People are more often good than bad, though in fact that is not the question. But they are more or less ignorant and this is what one calls vice or virtue, the most appalling vice being the ignorance that thinks it knows everything and which consequently authorizes itself to kill. The murderer's soul is blind, and there is no true goodness or fine love without the greatest possible degree of clear-sightedness.”
