"I utter what you would not dare think." - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

We must know the pain of loss because if we never knew it, we would have no compassion for others, and we would become monsters of self-regard, creatures of unalloyed self-interest. The terrible pain of loss teaches humility to our prideful kind, has the power to soften uncaring hearts, to make a better person of a good one.

Look at us, running around. Always rushed, always late. I guess that’s why they call it the human race. What we crave most in this world is connection. For some people it happens at first site. It’s when you know you know. It’s fate working its magic. And that’s great for them. They get to live in a pop song. Ride the express train. But that’s not the way it really works. For the rest of us, it’s a bit less romantic. It’s complicated, it’s messy. It’s about horrible timing, and fumbled opportunities. And not being able to say what you need to say when you need to say it. At least, that’s the way it was for me.

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t and contrary-wise, what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would.

“Simple fact: Protectionist mindset and “globalized” existence are simply not complementary; these two connote different, if not polarizing conditions and circumstances. They simply just don’t fit together if we want that globalization will succeed. Globalization requires a more encompassing mode of thought. Hence, either we forget about globalization or we transform our protectionist mindsets into a mode of thinking that will be more compatible with what a globalized world requires.”

"I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me. My love’s not impersonal yet not wholly subjective either. I would like to be everyone, a cripple, a dying man, a whore, and then come back to write about my thoughts, my emotions, as that person. But I am not omniscient. I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have. And you cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time."

"It's not the good things that you possess that matters; it is about how you utilize such; and that usually depends on what you deemed important- based on the choices you've made; which basically depends upon who you are as a person- as usually seen on the kind of choices you've been making..."

"It is our responsibility to help others when disasters/calamities strikes; but the best way to help people is to focus on doing something that would ultimately enable people to help themselves when threatened with similar circumstances again. "
