“Tomorrow I shall write something beautiful, something so serene
that storms will rise suddenly and protest with ferocious screams.
I shall write poems for the poets and for the songster a single song
That will tell a tale of such beauty the heart of earth shall moan.

But today, today shall be special for all I will do
is sit quietly alone and think of you and think of you.”
― Tonny K. Brown

“To see the death as our own, that is the beginning of wisdom. To find the loss as our own, that is the beginning of respect for others. To feel the pain as our own, that is the beginning of kindness.”
― Conrado De Quiros, Tongues on Fire

“In my approaching old age, I am now supposed to share with you what life has taught me, and in the end to encapsulate for you what is the meaning of life. From where I am now, I find that these conundrums are easily answered. First, life teaches us that, whether we perceive it as predestined or as random, it is beyond any person's control. Second, there is no template for the meaning of life. Instead, the meaning of life is what you choose to make it mean. In making your choice, when you reach my age, your journey becomes an affirmation of the warning that life is a consequence of our moral choices.”
― Miriam Defensor Santiago

“I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.”
― Franz Kafka
