Ik ben zo klein,′ zei de mol. ‘Ja,’ zei de jongen. ‘Maar je maakt een groot verschil.

Love doesn’t need you to be extraordinary.
Sometimes all you hear about is the hate, but there is more love in this world than you could possibly imagine.

When the big things feel out of control... focus on what you love right under your nose.
Sometimes I think you believe in me more than I do” said the boy “you’ll catch up” said the horse.
I’ve learned how to be in the present.” “How?” asked the boy “I find a quiet spot and shut my eyes and breathe.” “That’s good, and then?” “Then I focus.” “What do you focus on?” “Cake,” said the mole.
