When you're surrounded by people who share a passionate commitment around a common purpose, anything is possible.

The meaning of life lies in how we give it meaning.

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends."

"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."
