Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.
In a world of prayer, we are all equal in the sense that each of us is a unique person, with a unique perspective on the world, a member of a class of one.
Learn from your dreams what you lack.
Between friends differences in taste or opinion are irritating in direct proportion to their triviality.
