I'd like to meet:

"Every arrival foretells a leave-taking, every birth a death.
Yet each death and departure comes to us as a surprise,
a sorrow never anticipated.
Life is a long series of farewells;
only the circumstances should surprise us."
"We want the facts to fit the preconceptions
When they don't it is easier to ignore the facts
than to change the preconceptions..."
'I've done more harm by the falseness of trying to please
than by the honesty of trying to hurt. "
(FYI i owe me name to this amazing redhead)
