“If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.”

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”

“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.”

“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
