Frequently Quotes

Well, it seems to me that the best relationships -
the ones that last -
are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship.

and you see something more than you did the night before.
Like a switch has been flicked somewhere.
And the person who was just a friend is...
suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.

but laws and institutions must go hand in hand

institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.

it is merely the absence of light.

Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.
