Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
The one good thing about not seeing you is that I can write you letters.
I am thinking of you in my sleepless solitude tonight.
I still find each day too short.
If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.

We recounted how this man was thinking love and feeling love--were they not real tears in his eyes?--but he was not in truth behaving with love.
