“Heaven and Earth are meeting in a storm that, when it's over, will leave the air purer and the leaves fertile, but before that happens, houses will be destroyed, centuries- old trees will topple, paradises will be flooded.”

“My heart might be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing beauty of life once more. It's happened before, it will happen again, I'm sure. When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive--I'll find love again.”

“Our task is not to leave a record of what happened on this date for those who will inherit the Earth; history will take care of that.”

“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”

“When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.”

“Remember: when someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.”

“In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. And no two journeys along the same path are alike.”
