“Practical life teaches us that people may differ and that both may be wrong: it also teaches us that people may differ and both be right. Anchor yourself fast in the latter faith, or the former will sweep your heart away. The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice that which we are for what we could become. And always remember You are never alone or helpless. The force that guides the stars guides you too.”
