The intensity with which young people live demands that they "blank out" as often as possible.

Yet it is only love which sets us free.

You rose into my life like a promised sunrise, brightening my days with the light in your eyes. I've never been so strong. Now I'm where I belong.

I encourage you to live with life. Be courageous, adventurous. Give us a tomorrow, more than we deserve.

I know for sure that love saves me and that it is here to save us all.

If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?

Human beings are more alike than unalike. Whether in Paris, Texas, or Paris, France, we all want to have good jobs where we are needed and respected and paid just a little more than we deserve. We want healthy children, safe streets, to be loved and have the unmitigated gall to accept love. If we are religious, we want a place to perpetuate God. If not, we want a good lecture every once in a while. And everyone wants someplace to party on Saturday nights.
