Friendship... is not something to be explained, but rather to be experienced.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time, you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.
Frederick Buechner
Sometimes our light goes out, but it is blown again into instant flame by an encounter with another human being.
Albert Schweitzer
