Quotes
Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
Where words fail, music speaks.
Every man's life is a fairy tale written by God's fingers.

“His own image; no longer a dark, gray bird, ugly and disagreeable to look at, but a graceful and beautiful swan. To be born in a duck's nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan's egg.” 
―from "The Ugly Duckling"
