Car elle ne voulait pas qu'il la vît pleurer. C'était une fleur tellement orgueilleuse - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Human drama does not show itself on the surface of life. It is not played out in the visible world, but in the hearts of men. … One man in misery can disrupt the peace of a city. It is another of the miraculous things about mankind that there is no pain nor passion that does not radiate to the ends of the earth. Let a man in a garret but burn with enough intensity and he will set fire to the world.

But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.

The real miracles make no noise. The crucial events in a life are unobtrusive.
