“It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato.”

“As for me, I know nothing else but miracles,Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water,Or stand under the trees in the woods,Or talk by day with any one I love,Or sleep in bed at night with any one I love,Or watch honey bees busy around the hive of a summer forenoon...Or the wonderfulness of the sundown,Or of stars shining so quiet and bright,Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring...What stranger miracles are there?”

“My dear, In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that... In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger – something better, pushing right back. Truly yours, Albert Camus”

“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies - "God damn it, you've got to be kind."”
