to learn

that does not bring you alive

is too small for you.”

“What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life--to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?”
― George Eliot, Adam Bede

“To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.”
