a world possibly not born until they arrive,
and it is only by this meeting that
a new world is born.
Anais Nin

this condition is permanent.
Erwin T. Randall

Every person, all the events of your life
are there because you have drawn them there.
What you choose to do with them is up to you.
Richard Bach

If we are incapable of finding peace in ourselves,
it is pointless to search elsewhere.
F. Rochefoucauld

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame
by another human being. Each of us owes deepest
thanks to those who have rekindled this light.
-Albert Schweitzer
