It was average gives a good idea about living on the outskirts of the city full of corruption and how true friendship could still be found. 
 (إحدى مآسي تاريخ البشرية التي لانهاية لها إنما تكمن في أن المتخاصمين اوفر حظة من المتفاعلين،ما يغني، منطقيا، ان البشرية حملت جينات من لم يؤمنوا بها) 
ان الحزن طائر سنونو، قد يستيقظ المرء من نومه في إحدى الايام ليجد انهقد رحل. لكنه في الواقع لم يرحل،و إنما هاجر إلى مكان آخر ليدفئ ريسه، و سيعود عاجلا ام اجلا ليتربع على القلب مجددا
