“The best things that happen I’d never have thought to pray for. In a million years. The worst things just come like the weather.”
— Marilynne Robinson

“When we truly love someone, we would respect the person. No matter the wrongs done by the person, we would always try to see reasons why the wrongs were done, we would always try to understand the explained and unexplained reasons behind the person’s wrong actions.We wouldn’t mind justifying the wrongs simply cos the love has brought upon us a great understanding which has made us tolerant of many things about the person loved.With love, comes respect; with respect comes fair hearing; with fair hearing, comes understanding.There is no love without respect, tolerance or understanding”
— OMOSOHWOFA CASEY

“Now you can all have a wish — the Moomin family first!”Moominmamma hesitated a bit. “Should it be something you can see?” she asked, “or an idea? If you know what I mean, Mr. Hobgoblin?””Oh, yes!” said the Hobgoblin. “Things are easier of course, but it will work with an idea too.””Then I want to wish that Moomintroll will stop missing Snufkin,” said Moominmamma.”Oh, dear!” said Moomintroll going pink, “I didn’t know it was so obvious!”But the Hobgoblin waved his cloak once, and immediately the sadness flew out of Moomintroll’s heart. His longing just became an expectancy, and that felt much better.”
