“You are two minds, two hearts, two souls. But this day you begin a journey of one. Where it will lead, I cannot tell you. Only the Creator knows. But I can tell you this. On your journey, you will never be alone. In the cold, you will have another body for warmth. In times of uncertainty, you will have a hand to hold for comfort. In the dark, you will have the whisper of love to assure you that the light will return.” He took their hands and placed them between his own. “Go in peace, Grandchildren. May you find the way to bimaadiziwin, the good life. And know that the love of all the hearts here today goes with you.”
― William Kent Krueger, Spirit Crossing

“I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.”

“Do you know," she said slowly, "that the stars that we see the clearest are already dead?"
"Well, that's depressing." I took my hand from hers.
"No," she said gently, linking her arm through mine, "it's not depressing, it's beautiful. They've been gone for who knows how long, but we can still see them. They live on."
They live on.”
― Marianne Cronin, The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot

“The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.”
