“The diamond's brilliance is yet again accentuated by the turn of the jeweler. The man at the counter put away his glasses, apparently discontent with the fact that a diamonds purpose is to refract light at all angles rather than shine on one specific spot. So wrapped up in finding the most beautiful gem, this unfortunate stranger's nose end up being turned up so high that the very same gem wasn't even recognized.”
Dedrick D. L. Pitter
“Tag this insensitive if you like, but I arrived in this world with no star to light my way, no pedigree or chest full of precious jewels. Armed only with determination and moderation, I dug a good life out of hard rock. Without so much as a speck of shame, I find solace in the failures of those who dug as untiringly as I did but in the opposite direction.”
Bobby W. Miller
“We don't sell our jewels. We haven't received any offers for Andrei Shevchenko and, in any case, we would refuse them. Andrei will stay with us for many more years to come.”
Adriano Galliani
