Choosing one path means abandoning others - if you try to follow every possible path you will end up following none.

With love, there are no rules. The heart decides and what it decides is all that really matters.

True love allows each person to follow his or her own path, aware that doing so can never drive them apart.

Death is our constant companion, and it is death that gives each person's life its true meaning.
