“It is difficult to know at what moment love begins it is less difficult to know that it has begun.”

Success“Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.”
Life“All things must change to something new, to something strange.”
