"Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people—they always go away, sooner or later. You can't hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they've touched you, if they're inside you, then they're still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart."

(Elementary school teacher and author Bruce

(Viktor Frankl)

The good life is one inspired by love

and guided by knowledge.

(Bertrand Russell)
