“Love is a flame that turns me around,I float on its currents, I dance to its sound.As I move past the tears that fall from my eyesThere’s nothing to say except to ask whyYou can’t be here.”
“The greatest reward is to be found in the pursuit of a cause greater than ourselves, where we prevail not as individuals but as an integral part of a very special group of people committed to one another through bonds forged in the heat of competition and the pressure of creating something which did not exist before.”
“As you listen to the murmur of the rain, remember that it is the touch of God. And that just as it unites heaven and earth and nourishes all living things, it can also reunite your worldly spirit with your heart, nourishing the love that you thought you'd lost.”
