“Cancer gave me an understanding of the point of all this. To survive. Most of our lives it is easy but for the moments when it becomes difficult, when accident or sickness or sadness strikes, it's just about remembering one thing. You must simply survive.”

“We are pushed towards eternal silence from the moment we are born. So when sadness tries to stifle us, we must not give in. We must keep whispering.”

“The world is full of people who will help you manufacture tornados in order to blow out a match.”

“Only someone wishing to disappear would ever strive to 'fit in'.”

“You smile and draw me near and whisper, "Do as dreamers do."I lean to you and whisper in your ear, "I cannot dream tonight my Dear. For it is you.”

“It's sad that in a world of billions, people can still feel isolated and alone. Sometimes all it takes to brighten up someone's day is a smile or kind word, or the generous actions of a complete stranger.

“There is greater clarity in the still waters of sadness, something not found in the babbling brooks of more sought after emotions.”

“Pencil. Paper. Forget the world.”

“Nothing listens as well as a blank page.”

“This is for you, for your breath, whose absence would lessen a greater world.”

“And the man who dreamt of flight has tripped and fallen in a hole.”
