… tema igapäevasest lahkusest, sellest, kuidas too oli Furlongit parandanud ja julgustanud, nendest väikestest asjadest, mida ta oli öelnud ja teinud ja keeldunud tegemast ja ütlemast ning mida ta oli ilmselt teadnud – asjadest, mis kokku arvatuna moodustasid elu.

Life is one revelation after another. Things don’t always go to plan, no matter what your circumstances. But the flip side is all the unexpected, wonderful things that you could never have imagined happening. Ultimately it’s all for the best that many things don’t turn out the way we hoped. Try not to think of upset plans or schedules as personal failure or bad luck. If you can do that, then you can change, in your own self and in your life overall.

Why is the parent who gives birth always expected to make the biggest career sacrifice?

That’s the thing with babies, they’re destructive little things before they’re even out of you.

While I do believe that it was hard work for my mother to give birth to me, it also took me every ounce of my own strength to endure the extremely difficult process of being born. After all that time inside my mother’s belly growing into a human being with nobody to guide me, all of a sudden I was thrust into an entirely new and strange environment.

I believe that a job secures you a place in society. So if you have a parallel career, you can have two places. With neither side business.

“What are you looking for?” she had asked me.
I think about it. A place for these dreams that I don’t know what to do with?

Mind on alati vihale ajanud see, kuidas raskemeelsed inimesed peavad helgemaid natuure naiivseteks ja pealiskaudseteks, võib-olla isegi lollideks. Valida helgus ja kergus nõuab igapäevast teadlikku pingutust, tuua helgust ja kergust ka teiste ellu nõuab veelgi suuremat pingutust.

Years feel longer when you aren’t loved the way you want to be. Or the way you’re supposed to be.

Kergus ei tule iseenesest.
Kergus, see tähendab kõige ja kõigi üles tõstmine. Olgu, mitte kõige ja kõigi, sest kõike ei jõua. Aga selle ja nende, kes on lähemal, kas siis haarde- või kuuldeulatuses. Kõige raskem on päevast päeva olla see, kes tuppa astudes paneb tule põlema või tõmbab kardinad eest ja avab akna, et raske õhk välja lasta.
