Sir Geoffrey Hugh Benbow Streatfield

The first duty of love is to listen.

Paul Tillich

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

Thornton Wilder

When we treat man as he is, we make him worse than he is; when we treat him as if he already were what he potentially could be, we make him what he should be.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

Dean Koontz
