"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words – and never stops at all." • "Forever is composed of nows." • "To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else." • "Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough." • "The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience." • "If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain." •
