'Only in love have I found understanding, for everything else the patience to hope that a sentence can change the hearts of men and women, to want to be better, to love, to have spent the day in awe rather than disgust, that the sun is beautiful even after it has set. To spend nights perplexed at the sky, how it softens our hearts as we lay our heads to rest, pensively, as the mysteries of the world remain mysterious, marvelous, filled with awe, and even in the dark do we smile. That the beat of our hearts are sonorous only as we lay upon the chest of another, reminded of what it is that we share, and though our purpose throughout our lives may shift and change, meanings reestablished, redefined, always will be human, it is that which binds us together, and it is the beauty of this shared uniqueness which change sprouts from. With the sentence we can share with those alive and those unborn, the joys we have known and the love we have in our hearts.'
