Quotes

  • Love is not a feeling of happiness. Love is a willingness to sacrifice. It's a willingness to give yourself for the benefit of others. Like Jesus did, when he died on the cross for our sins. He didn't do it because it was easy. He did it because it was right. He did it to give us the opportunity of a better life. He did it for love. And that's what true love is all about: sacrifice. It's about putting others first. It's about flight, not fight.
  • The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
  • We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.
