Because it's raining where you are doesn't mean the sun isn't shining somewhere else.

When terrible things keep happening you know you're living in the real world.

When your house burns down you look for your lost dreams among the ashes.

When bad things are constantly happening you know you're living in the real world.

If the sky falls, there'll be a bigger sky behind it.

When has fear, anger or pity ever succeeded in stopping the next wave from crashing in?

The tragedy of the human race is politics. Nothing is more obvious. It is politics that foments all this hate and division between people.

Often when you think the storm is over it has really just begun.

The tragic view is the most cheerful. One sheds a lot of illusions and learns to laugh a lot.
