Once the realization is accepted
that even between the closest human beings
infinite distances continue,
a wonderful living side by side can grow,
if they succeed in loving the distance
between them which makes it possible
for each to see the other whole against the sky.
Author: Rainer Maria Rilke
Oh, you weak, beautiful people
who give up with such grace.
What you need is someone
to take hold of you -- gently,
with love, and hand your life back to you.
Author: Tennessee Williams
One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life.
That word is love.
Author: Sophocles
The man is a success who has lived well,
laughed often, and loved much;
who has gained the respect of intelligent men
and the love of children;
who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who leaves the world better than he found it,
whether by an improved poppy,
a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty
or failed to express it;
who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.
Author: Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson
