In the coldest February, as in every other month in every other year, the best thing to hold on to in this world is each other.

Linda Ellerbee, "Move On: Adventures in the Real World "


Love is not measured by how many times you touch each other but you how many times you reach each other.     —Cathy Morancy


Life is short and we never have
enough time for gladdening the hearts
of those who travel the way with us.
Oh, be swift to love! Make haste to be kind.


True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "The Wisdom of the Sands"


‘Tis the human touch in the world that counts,
The touch of your hand to mine,
Which means far more to the fainting heart
Than shelter and bread and wine;
For shelter is gone when the night is o’er
And bread lasts only a day,
But the touch of the hand and the sound of the voice
Sing on in the soul always.
