A few quotes from a mutual favorite author:
"I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
"Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country."
"Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it."
--Anias Nin
"If music be the food of love, then play on!"--Shakespeare
