"To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be."

Anna Louise Strong

“Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.”

Henry Rollins

"Where others see but the dawn coming over the hill, I see the
soul of God shouting for joy."

William Blake

Whenever someone sorrows, I do not say, "forget it," or "it will pass," or "it could be worse" - all of which deny the integrity of the painful experience. But I say, to the contrary, "It is worse than you may allow yourself to think. Delve into the depth. Stay with the feeling. Think of it as a precious source of knowledge and guidance. Then and only then will you be ready to face it and be transformed in the process."

Peter Koestenbaum

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”

Robert Frost

"God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars."

Martin Luther
