at around 1 minute is the part when sayu got covered by the door. it's so funny and cute!

the united nations was not created to take humanity to heven, but to save it from hell- dag hammarskjold

from like the flowing river, paulo coelho

how often, for the lack of one brick, we completely distort the original plan of our lives.

how do we know the exact moment when night ends and day begins?
when a stranger approaches and we think he is our brother, and all conflicts disappear, that is the moment when night ends and day begins

actually, there's alot of nice stuff in it. i might as well put the whole book in here, but i probably would get sued. probably not by the man himself though, judgin from my impression of him; he isn't that sort. and he did say he thinks that books should travel from hand to hand. i would sorta be doing it, so i guess he would have intervened to save me. anyway, i would strongly recommend it. and it's quite light, cos it's basically made up of reflections and very short writings. and i mean really short. like at most 3 or 4 pages, at most.

no humongous chunks to read through. and it's informal and very personal.

anyhow, at the moment, i am quite interested in shorter writings
