“For a moment, I thought of the word happy and it was a word that just, well, it felt like it was visiting me. I knew it wouldnâ€™t last for very long and Iâ€™d be sad again and then it would be worse because itâ€™s one thing to be sad and itâ€™s another thing to be sad once youâ€™ve been happy. Being sad after youâ€™ve been happy is the worst thing in the world.”

“A government must not waiver once it has chosen its course. It must not look to the left or right but go forward.”
