"Kaya kayang pawiin ang pangamba na masaktang muli?
Palitan ng saya ang mga luhang kaytagal pinigil?
Mangarap na tila walang sablay na maaabot ito?
Paligayahin ang sarili na tila wala nang bukas?
Ialay ang buhay sa ngalan ng pag-ibig hanggang sa huling himlay?
Hanggang saan ang kayang arukin?
May sukat nga bang katumbas ang bawat ligaya?
O sadyang mahirap unawain ang taong ang nais lamang ay maging masaya sa paraang nais niya?"

Last week,a black man asked me. He said, "Are you a Filipina?" I told him, "Yes, I am." Then he said, "Where is life? Do you find good life here?" I smiled, paused, and said, "Life is everywhere." Then he smiled back at me. Life is what you think it is. But above all, it is a gift. This is the absolute reason why I write. -Nimfa

From the Film, The Reader
"I'm not frightened. I'm not frightened of anything. The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love. It will sharpen it. It will give it spice. I'll be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you entered it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say, 'Only one thing can make a soul complete, and that thing is love'."
