Without love, we are birds with broken wings.
So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.

Don't wish me happiness — I don't expect to be happy; it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor — I will need them all.
Never the spirit was born; the spirit shall cease to be never; Never was time it was not; End and Beginning are dreams! Birthless and deathless and changeless remaineth the spirit for ever; Death hath not touched it at all, dead though the house of it seems!
One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.
