What you love, you will love. What you undertake you will complete. You are a fulfiller of hope; you are to be relied on. But seventeen years give little armor against despair...Consider, Arren. To refuse death is to refuse life.

Milford Zornes

One of the most difficult times in my life was when I escaped from Romania in November of 1989.

Nadia Comaneci
