"What is done cannot be undone, but one can prevent it from happening again."

"The sun is shining, the sky is a deep blue, there's a lovely breeze, and I'm longing for everything. For a kiss, for a summer day, for a bicycle, for a new pair of shoes."

"It's an odd feeling to be so completely cut off from everything."

"I can't imagine how anyone can say: 'I'm weak,' and then remain so."

"I have one wish, and that is to live, to be useful, to bring joy to people."
