“Mother says,
People share
when they know they have escaped hunger.

Shouldn't people share
because there is hunger?”
Thanhha Lai, Inside Out & Back Again

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Who could be so lucky? Who comes to a lake for water and sees the reflection of moon.”
Rumi

Pam Muñoz Ryan
“The words he had written wiggled off the page and escaped from the drawer. The letters stacked themselves, one on top of the other. Their towers reached higher and higher until they stood majestic and tall, surrounding Neftali in a city of promise. HUMANITY. SOLIDARITY. GENEROSITY. PEACE. JUSTICE. LOVE. Then a tiny, conceited word came along. Like a hungry termite, it began to gnaw on the tall words, chewing at their foundation, gulping their pulp until they swayed, toppled, and collapsed. All that remained was one fat, satisfied syllable. FEAR.”
Pam Muñoz Ryan, The Dreamer

Seneca
“As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.”
Seneca

Ishmael Beah
“We must strive to be like the moon.' An old man in Kabati repeated this sentence often... the adage served to remind people to always be on their best behavior and to be good to others. [S]he said that people complain when there is too much sun and it gets unbearably hot, and also when it rains too much or when it is cold. But, no one grumbles when the moon shines. Everyone becomes happy and appreciates the moon in their own special way. Children watch their shadows and play in its light, people gather at the square to tell stories and dance through the night. A lot of happy things happen when the moon shines. These are some of the reasons why we should want to be like the moon.”
Ishmael Beah
