“We never needed to see all of each other to love all of each other.”
― Penn Cole, Spark of the Everflame

“It is singular, however, how long a time often passes before words embody things; and with what security two persons, who choose to avoid a certain subject, may approach its very verge, and retire without disturbing it.”
― Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

“For anyone who has ever been told their spark shouldn’t burn so bright and for all the people who loved them precisely because it did.”
― Penn Cole, Spark of the Everflame

“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.”
― Mother Teresa, A Simple Path: Mother Teresa
