“Sometimes
you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you
are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust
them too, even when you are in the dark. Even when you are falling.”
“You
cannot substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness
or for a sense of comradeship. Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and
power is not a substitute for tenderness. I can tell you, as I’m sitting here
dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling
you’re looking for, no matter how much of them you have.”
“As long
as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die
without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All
the memories are still there. You live on – in the hearts of everyone you have
touched and nurtured while you were here. Death ends a life, not a
relationship.”
“In
business, people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. Maybe
you’re too used to that. Love is different. Love is when you are as concerned
about someone else’s situation as you are about your own.”
