“I have a very simple philosophy of life:
Kindness. Ferocious, unrelenting, ruthless, committed, passionate, kindness.
Life is sacred everywhere. We all have better things to do than beat each other up.
Arguing for the exception is to invest it with energy, it's to negotiate the loophole. The commitment to kindness must be total.”

Helena understood that also. I could see it in her eyes, sense it in her sighs, and small cries, and reluctance to let go of me.”
