„If I can stop one heart from breaking,I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain,Or help one fainting robinUnto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.“

— Emily Dickinson

„And if God does not help me to go on, then I shall have to help God. — The surface of the earth is gradually turning into one great prison camp, and soon there will be nobody left outside. … I don't fool myself about the real state of affairs, and I've even dropped the pretense that I'm out to help others. I shall merely try to help God as best I can, and if I succeed in doing that, then I shall be of use to others as well. But I mustn't have heroic illusions about that either.“
— Etty Hillesum
„So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.“
