“We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“Grief is the price of love. Loving someone means that one day, there will be grieving. They will leave you, or you will leave them. The more you love, the more you grieve. Loving someone also means grieving with them. It means letting their pain and loss bleed into your own heart. When you see that pain coming, you may want to throw up the guardrails, sound the alarm, raise the flag, but you must keep the borders of your heart porous in order to love well. Grieving is an act of surrender.”
― Valarie Kaur, See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love

“If you have two friends in your lifetime, you're lucky. If you have one good friend, you're more than lucky.”
