"Sometimes life puts you in difficult circumstances you didn't choose. But being happy or unhappy is a choice you make, and I've chosen to make the best of things that I can."

"I still don't know if there is a divine plan, but I've come to realize that it doesn't matter. What matters is that we act; that we do what's right when confronted with evil."
