"Friends are important - that's why I want to have as many friends as possible. Smiles are important - that's obvious. But what are the smiles like? There is a wide selection of them. Some are sarcastic, some are artificial, diplomatic smiles. These do not satisfy me, rather they create fear and suspicion in me. But a real smile gives hope, encourages and refreshes. If we want a real smile to shine on our face, we have to create the source of the real smile within ourselves.

""Fontosak a barátok - ezért szeretném, ha minél több barátom lenne. Fontosak a mosolyok - ez is nyilvánvaló. De milyenek a mosolyok? Bőséges a választék belőlük. Némelyik gúnyos, némelyik művi, diplomata mosoly. Ezek nem elégítenek ki, sokkal inkább félelmet, gyanakvást keltenek bennem. Ám a valódi mosoly reményt adó, biztató, üdítő. Ha azt akarjuk, hogy valódi mosoly ragyogjon az arcunkon, meg kell teremtenünk magunkban a valódi mosoly forrását."
