"If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time."
Octavio Paz

"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only
waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.
Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence,
something helpless that wants our love."    
Rainer Maria Rilke  

‘”I scarcely know where to begin, but love is always a safe place.” 
Emily Dickinson
