• Whenever Beauty looks,
  Love is also there;
  Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek
  Love lights Her fire from that flame.
  When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night
  Love comes and finds a heart
  entangled in tresses.
  Beauty and Love are as body and soul.
  Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.

• But don't forget who you really are. And I'm not talking about your so-called real name. All names are made up by someone else, even the one your parents gave you. You know who you really are. When you're alone at night, looking up at the stars, or maybe lying in your bed in total darkness, you know that nameless person inside you...Your muscles will toughen. So will your heart and soul. That's necessary for survival. But don't lose touch with that person deep inside you, or else you won't really have survived at all.
