People will ask me: Don’t you believe in God? No, I don’t. I believe in two things above all: Nature and Love. Nature is all-powerful. Love is how I understand the good. It might have been nice to believe in God, often defined as all-powerful and good, but combining the two like that has always posed too much of a contradiction for my poor mind to believe in.
And, in the end
The love you take
is equal to the love you make.
-Paul McCartney
One can be a soldier without dying and a lover without sighing.

Let love of the brethren continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

Why are old lovers able to become friends? Two reasons. They never truly loved each other, or they love each other still.
