The more idealism proves futile, the more I respect idealists.
Trust opens the door that pain had sealed shut.
The optimist's hope and the pessimist's despair: reciprocal illusions.

We humans are like squirrels who spend all summer gathering and hoarding nuts and when winter comes can't remember where they are.
If you think happiness is a rare bird you won't see much of it.
What is true today may be false tomorrow, and true again the day after tomorrow.
