We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.” - Martin Luther King, Jr. “I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that source in you. Let us work together for unity and love.” - Mahatma Gandhi “Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth. We are happy when we are growing.” - William Butler Yeats “By Being, It Is.” - Parmenides “Without music, life would be a mistake.” - Friedrich Nietzsche “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” - George Santayana “As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.” - Carl Jung “If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” - Rene Descartes “We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.” - Richard Feynman “Then he said ‘Remember Bob: no fear, no envy, no meanness,’ and I said ‘hmmm, right.’” - Bob Dylan “The reverse side also has a reverse side.” - Japanese Proverb “We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.” - William James “If success or failure of this planet and of human beings depended on how I am and what I do… How would I be? What would I do?” - Buckminster Fuller “The most vital issue of the age is whether the future progress of humanity is to be governed by the modern economic and materialistic mind of the West or by a nobler pragmatism guided, uplifted and enlightened by spiritual culture and knowledge….” - Sri Aurobindo “The Self alone exists; and the Self alone is real. Verily the Self alone is the world, the I-I and God. All that exists is but the manifestation of the Supreme Being.” - Ramana Maharshi “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” - Jiddu Krishnamurti “Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind.” - John F.

We would have been far more happy if we had. But that was like the tides, the change of seasons—something immutable, an immovable destiny we could never alter. No matter how cleverly we might shelter it, our delicate friendship wasn’t going to last forever. We were bound to reach a dead end.
