„Somewhere, the deepest desire for us all is to be appreciated, to be loved, to be seen as somebody of value. But not just seen — and Aristotle makes a difference between being admired and being loved. When you admire people, you put them on pedestals. When you love people, you want to be together. So really, the first meeting I had with people with disabilities, what touched me was their cry for relationship.“

— Jean Vanier

„What people with disabilities want is to relate. This is something unique. It makes people who are closed up in the head become human.

— Jean Vanier
