"Are you the new person drawn toward..." - Quote by Walt Whitman

“Judging from the main portions of the history of the world, so far, justice is always in jeopardy.”

“I give you my hand, I give you my love more precious than money, I give you myself before preaching or law; Will you give me yourself?”

“I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person.”

“I want people to be more open and tolerant. I want them to know that behind every stranger is a backstory that is the common denominator - for we all share in the human experience: pain, sadness, grief, lack of love, and then, with hope and help, step by step achievements.”

“Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.”

“The more we feel concern for others and seek their well-being, the more friends we will have and the more welcome we will feel.”

“Loving someone and having them love you back is the most precious thing in the world.”

“Tree at my window, window tree, My sash is lowered when night comes on; But let there never be curtain drawn Between you and me.”

“We were equals afterwards, as we had been before; but, afterwards at quiet times when I sat looking at Joe and thinking about him, I had a new sensation of feeling conscious that I was looking up to Joe in my heart.”
