İnsan olmanın sırrı kişinin yaşamasında değil, uğrunayaşayacağı bir şeyi olmasındadır.Ne kadar durgun olursa olsun tüm göllerin dalgası, ne kadar düzgün olursa olsun tüm çemberlerin pürüzleri vardır.Keşke elimde olsa da sizin için değiştirebilsem bir şeyleri, ama ne yazık ki yapamam; olduğu gibi kabul etmekzorundasınız her şeyi.Planlar yapan ve sözler veren değil, en küçük meselelerde bile sadık bir şekilde görevini yapan insan başarıya ulaşır. Bazı insanları hep kandırabilirsin veya tüm insanları bazenkandırabilirsin; ama herkesi her zaman kandıramazsın.
