I said to my children, 'I'm going to work and do everything that I can do to see that you get a good education. I don't ever want you to forget that there are millions of God's children who will not and cannot get a good education, and I don't want you feeling that you are better than they are. For you will never be what you ought to be until they are what they ought to be.

Robinson Jeffers

Numai moartea e o for?? la fel de absolut?, dar în lupta de veacuri dintre aceste dou? puteri, dragostea este cea care ia moartea de gât, îi pune genunchiul în piept, o bate ziua ?i noaptea, o învinge în fiecare prim?var?, o urm?re?te pas cu pas ?i-n fiecare groap? pe care aceasta o sap?, dragostea arunc? s?mân?a unei vie?i noi.
