"Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom."
"The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along."
"Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death."
"Lovers find secret placesinside this violent worldwhere they make transactions with beauty."
