Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.

Relationships are like Rome — difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the ‘golden age’, and unbearable during the fall. Then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat itself until you come across a kingdom like Egypt… that thrives, and continues to flourish. This kingdom will become your best friend, your soul mate, and your love.

Life is a succesion of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
