“I survived by mastering my own emotions - a kind of private arrangement within oneself - an understanding of the heart and mind that one’s life and purposes are essentially good, and that nothing from the outside must be allowed to impair that understanding.”
“I prefer by far the warmth and softness to mere brilliancy and coldness. Some people remind me of sharp dazzling diamonds. Valuable but lifeless and loveless. Others, of the simplest field flowers, with hearts full of dew and with all the tints of celestial beauty reflected in their modest petals.”
Maxwell - Sumthin’ Sumthin’

“Though I knew that poverty certainly didn’t buy happiness, I wasn’t convinced that money did either.” - Pico Iyer
