“We are born to love as we are born to die, and between the heartbeats of those two great mysteries lies all the tangled undergrowth of our tiny lives. There is nowhere to go but through. And so we walk on, lost, and lost again, in the mapless wilderness of love.”
“We are born in mystery, we live in mystery, and we die in mystery.”
“We are born to love, we live to love, and we will die to love still more.”
“We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.”
“We have lost, being born, as much as we shall lose dying: Everything!”
“We were born to be great; we were born to be loved; we were born to be eternal.”
