Jean
added a quote:
"I once worked a case involving a house fire in which several young children had burned to death. It wasn't their charred bodies that upset me; it was the glimpse of a tricycle and a few other toys scattered in the yard outside: reminders of the life that had been snuffed out by the fire." — Bill Bass | |

added a quote:
"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more." — Erica Jong | |

"When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you're not here, I can't go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them." — Rumi | |
