“What it love, you ask. Dear child, love is like the light and there are two kinds, the bursting fireworks of the moment and the solid, fixed stars that sometimes become obscured in the heavens, but are always there, year after year, for a lifetime.

“You should know the truth about the stars--- even though it seems like they're close together, up there in heavens, they're zillion light years apart.”

“The missing years become lifetimes.”
