Yes, I did and a lot of my friends who are in the same program as I were very much supportive, and the most important thing they said to me is do not let this interfere with what you have to do in taking car of yourself. That was the most important thing.

Naomi Campbell

Every stage of human life, except the last, is marked out by certain and defined limits; old age alone has no precise and determinate boundary.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Literature must become party literature. Down with unpartisan litterateurs! Down with the superman of literature! Literature must become a part of the general cause of the proletariat.

Lenin (Vladimir Ulyanov)

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Życie to pasmo nieustannych porażek i rozczarowań, ale tylko od Ciebie zależy jak zamienisz je w swój życiowy sukces.

I Ching

You know, they've got these chocolate assortments, and you like some but you don't like others? And you eat all the ones you like, and the only ones left are the ones you don't like as much? I always think about that when something painful comes up. Now I just have topolish these off, and everything'll be OK. Life is a box of chocolates. I suppose you could call it a philosophy.

Haruki Murakami
