I have never had so little faith and trust in men's ability to coexist in the world I want to build as when I speak with my father. And yet, simultaneously, I begrudgingly admit him to be a great man. Just not a great person.

One day you’ll have whatever it is you’re now so confusedly seeking. That kind of calm that comes from knowing oneself and others. But you can’t rush the arrival of that state of mind. There are things you only learn when no one teaches them. And that’s how it is with life. There’s even more beauty in discovering it for yourself, in spite of the suffering.
