“This is the concentration camp and crematorium at Auschwitz. This is where people were turned into numbers. Into this pond were flushed the ashes of some four million people.

When people believe that they have absolute knowledge, with no test in reality, this is how they behave.”

“Your true wealth is the peace you create inside yourself today.”

“Then as now, I believed that when we’re uncertain of the road ahead, the wisest course is to trace our steps back home, however we define it, and stay until we find our bearings again.”

But you do become very good at thinking yourself into endless loops of desperation in half the time it would take a normal person.”

“...here's what I've learned - people will hurt you, but you don't have to respond - not every mean comment or cruel act deserves to be noticed ...”

“It takes a great man to be a good listener.”

“That's the beauty of rock bottom, beta. Once you hit it, the only direction left is up.”
