    "What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality."

    "As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters."

    Simply wonderful!

    The way she uses words to capture her life experiences is very powerful and dynamic. I could literally feel her when she was describing her failures and the short exchange she had with the African torture victim. It is amazing how he went through so much and could still have the heart to wish her happiness without a tinge of bitterness, when i have friends who gone through petty relationship problems and they become bitter towards everyone else, complaining about how unfair life treats them, much less wish the best for others.

    It is also comforting to know that when you're at your lowest, it is possible to turn your life back around.
