When you are exhausted by interruptions, try to remember that their very frequency may indicate how valuable your life is.

Only the people who are full of help and strength are burdened by other people’s needs.

The interruptions which we so often complain about demonstrate how important we truly are.

The greatest condemnation that anybody could incur – and it is a danger to guard against – is to be so independent, so unhelpful, that nobody ever interrupts us and we are left comfortably alone.
