&quot;Where words fail, music speaks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;m trying to believe in things that I don&#039;t know[...]That love can kill the pain, that truth is never vain, it turns strangers into lovers, and enemies to brothers&quot;

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.<br /> By Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross
