"No one notices your pain, no one notices your tears, no one notices your sadness; they all notice your mistakes."

This quote reflects a sense of frustration and disappointment about how people often overlook the emotional struggles of others but are quick to point out their faults or errors. It suggests that people's vulnerabilities, such as pain, sadness, or suffering, are frequently ignored or unseen, while any mistakes or shortcomings are given disproportionate attention.

The message conveys the idea that society or individuals tend to focus more on criticism than empathy, noticing flaws rather than offering support or understanding. It reflects a feeling of isolation and perhaps a desire for more compassion and recognition of one's true emotions.

Pražané se v Holešovicích poprvé dostanou z Bubenské ulice do Argentinské ulicí Nicholase Wintona. Začíná u bývalého bubenského nádraží, odkud za druhé světové války odjížděly transporty Židů a dalších do Terezína. Datum zprovoznění bylo zvoleno jako připomínka počátku druhé světové války a toho, že 1. září 1939 byl z Prahy vypraven poslední takzvaný Wintonův vlak, který již do Británie nedorazil.

"Let them be wrong about you, there's nothing to prove."

This quote promotes self-confidence and the idea of not seeking validation or approval from others. It suggests that it is unnecessary to waste energy trying to correct others' misconceptions or judgments about you. Instead, it encourages accepting that people may have their opinions, which might not always align with the truth, and being at peace with that.

The message emphasizes that your self-worth and value do not depend on others' perceptions or opinions. It advises focusing on living authentically and staying true to yourself rather than constantly trying to prove your worth or defend yourself against misunderstandings.
