"science tries to determine underlying patterns in chaotic systems. weather. ocean currents. blood flow. that kind of thing. but it turns out that there are few things more chaotic the beat of the human heart. speeding up, slowing down. pretty face. flight of stairs. it's always changing depending on what's happening to us out there. it's an erractic son of a bitch. but underneath all of that bumpa-da-bump mess there is a pattern. truth is, is that it's love.
the most important thing about love is that we choose to give it. and we choose to receive it. making it the least random act in the entire universe.
transcends blood. transcends betrayal. and all of the dirt that makes us human. if you can figure that out, the world ain't got nothin' on ya."
"I had learned a valuable lesson about working with the poor. I had come to see them as people first and not as objects of my own benevolence or charity. By caring for them, I had come to respect them. My relationship could no longer be one seen through the lens of charitable work. I had begun to see their problems as our problems."
