&ldquo;Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all.

&quot;It&#039;s the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It is the one who won&#039;t be taken who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.&quot; -Bette Mier
