Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.

--Honore de Balzac

Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
--C.S. Lewis

There are many things in life
That will catch your eye,
But only a few will catch your heart...
Pursue those.

Ah, how skillful grows the hand
That obeyeth Love's command!

That to the highest doth attain,
And he who followeth Love's behest
Far excelleth all the rest.

I never got it back.
--Helen Hayes
