'Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.

Sermons in stones, and good in everything.

And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances;



And one man in his time plays many parts...

To heal our wounds, we need courage to face them.

All men and women are connected by an energy called love, the raw material from which the universe was built.

I have this strange tendence to look for adventure, when I should be looking for happiness.

May love fill your heart, compassion guide your mind, faith rule your soul.
