Fear Nothing

Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this life--and they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.

Sometimes there is no darker place than our own thoughts; the moonless midnight of the mind.

I stopped in St. Bernadette's Cemetery one of my favorite places... The trunks of six giant oaks rise like columns supporting a ceiling formed by their interlocking crowns. In the quiet space below, is laid out an aisle similar to those in any library. The gravestones are like rows of books bearing the names of those whose names have been blotted from the pages of life; who have been forgotten elsewhere but are remembered here.

Self discipline and respect come naturally when you truly believe that your life has a spiritual dimension and that you are carefully designed to fulfill a destiny. Never leave a friend behind....they are all we have to get us through this life....and are the only thing we hope to see in the next...

The windows were heavily draped, and the milk-pitcher moon couldn't find gaps through which to pour itself. All was blackness on blackness.

...our nature and purpose is, more than anything else, to love and to make love, to take joy from the beauty of the world, to live with an awareness that the future is not as real a place for any one of us as are the present and the past.

Sometimes there is no darker place than our own thoughts: the moonless midnight of the mind.

In this crazy future tumbling like an avalanche straight at us, the ambitions of two people didn’t amount to a hill of beans.
