"The great secret....is not having bad manners or good manners...but having the same manner for all human souls: In short, behaving as if you were in HEAVEN, where there are no third-class carriages, and one soul is as good as another." - George Bernard Shaw"Maybe the purpose of being here, wherever we are, is to increase the durability and the occasions of love among and between peoples." - June Jordan"A human moment occurs anytime two or more people are together, paying attention to one another." - Edward M. Hallowell, MD."We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone-we find it with another." - Thomas Merton"Happiness is our Natural State. When we are most at home in ourselves.""Sorrow is everywhere. People are suffering deeply all over the world. Yet the women in the brothels of Bombay laugh out loud, and the women at the well smile and sing even as their neighbor is wasting away. If we refuse our happiness, we diminish in some way their deprivation. NO, we must risk delight, we must have the subborness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world. To do anythign else, to be obsessed with our own or the world's trials and tribulations - would be to praise the Devil. Let us rather remember that some great music is playing, even now, in the midst of it all, and the happiness inside us is part of the melody." - Jack Gilbert
