“Where there is a woman there is magic.”
Ntozake Shange

Leo Tolstoy
“Yes, love, ...but not the love that loves for something, to gain something, or because of something, but that love that I felt for the first time, when dying, I saw my enemy and yet loved him. I knew that feeling of love which is the essence of the soul, for which no object is needed. And I know that blissful feeling now too. To love one's neighbours; to love one's enemies. To love everything - to Love God in all His manifestations. Some one dear to one can be loved with human love; but an enemy can only be loved with divine love. And that was why I felt such joy when I felt that I loved that man. What happened to him? Is he alive? ...Loving with human love, one may pass from love to hatred; but divine love cannot change. Nothing, not even death, can shatter it. It is the very nature of the soul. And how many people I have hated in my life. And of all people none I have loved and hated more than her....

Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Edward Albee
“You're alive only once, as far as we know, and what could be worse than getting to the end of your life and realizing you hadn't lived it?”

Leo Tolstoy
“Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.”
Leo Tolstoy

Francis of Assisi
“All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.”
St. Francis Of Assisi, The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi
