"I am overwhelmed by the grace and persistence of my people."

"Whatever you want to do, if you want to be great at it, you have to love it and be able to make sacrifices for it."

"I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better."

"Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age."

"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope."
