Albert Schweitzer

Man can hardly even recognize the devils of his own creation.

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.

The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
