• A child is a child in any country, whatever the politics. Let's get down to basics. That's what a child forces you to do.

That is, if we want to continue to call ourselves human.

  Audrey Hepburn

  Country, Children, Simple

• My goal was not to have huge luxuries. As a child, I wanted a house with a garden, which I have today. This is what I dreamed of.
