"People lie on account of necessity and self-interest.

We fail to see things that exist in front of us. We don't remember the love that surrounds us. every day, at every moment. But we remember the love that wafted up like a cool breeze and disappeared just as quickly.

Be careful about those who smile without making a sound.

There is a certain kind of joy when you touch food. People who eat with spoons and fork are deprived of that joy."
