Mountains are where heaven meets earth.

Egypt loved the lotus because it never dies. It is the same for people who are loved.

The Bible - it's sort of the other person in the room. There's this book, the reader, and the Bible.

It's a good thing babies don't give you a lot of time to think. You fall in love with them and when you realize how much they love you back, life is very simple.
