“What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life - to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?”

“What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life--to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?”

“Humans are designed to be with other humans, even those with mixed blood. They need each other's laughter. They require each other's sorrows.”

“We are all connected in ways we cannot even begin to fathom. Our lives unfold through each other and within each other. What one suffers, we all feel. What one does changes others forever.”

“All life is part of a complex relationship in which each is dependent upon the others, taking from, giving to and living with all the rest.”

“For a time they confronted each other like two mute unspeaking forts.”
