the actions we take.

Real love is never a selfish emotion.
If you want something from someone -

and not about seeking happiness for yourself.

is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love.
Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing
we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Both at once can produce unbearable turmoil.
- Robert Heinlein

is now in my life causes an ever greater abundance
to flow in my direction.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
