I've learned two things in my life. One that love is the beginning and end of all meaning. And two that it is the same thing whatever shape our souls have taken on this journey. Love is love. Is love.

You must be careful with kindness. It's usually mistaken for weakness by stupid people.

I'm a great dog fanatic. My own dog died a little while ago and I take it very personally when things die-it's a major offence.
