“And then like Pandora, opening the great big box of the world and not being afraid, not even caring whether what’s inside is good or bad. Because it’s both. Everything is always both. But you have to open it to find that out.”

“You are my choice, and with you I shall explore the heights and depths of love, the laughter and tears of days and nights and years. No other shall ever take your place, because I will it to be so, and I intend to keep it so.”

“Some of us walk alone, now that the beloved has gone before. And yet we are not alone. For a presence remains and a memory sweetens with age and the heart is still warm with a glow never seen on land or sea, the light of a oneness that cannot be broken, even by death. Hear our prayer, O God, for all those who love each other in these perilous times, and grant that their love shall not be shattered by the sound of fury. The darker the night, let its light be brighter.”
