Hindi kasalanan ng isang hubad ang maging hubad. Ang mga nagkakasala ay ang mga nagkakait ng damit sa mga walang saplot ... ang mga nagdaramot ng kumot sa mga giniginaw ... sapagka't pag-ibig at pang-unawa lamang ang kailangan ng isang katotohananng hubad sa pagkakasala.
Vincent Benjamin Kua Jr.
Peace in all the storms of life. Peace when your heart is sinking at failure. Peace when your world seems to be falling in on you. Peace in the monotony and endlessness of small things ... But most of all, Peace with your human weakness, when you can't seem to do anything right.
Tans de Guzman

I remember a very important lesson that my father gave me when I was twelve or thirteen. He said, 'You know, today I welded a perfect seam and I signed my name to it.' And I said, 'But, Daddy, no one's going to see it!' And he said, 'Yeah, but I know it's there.'

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
