"We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity."--Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"It changed my whole life. I realized all of the people who had conspired to get me to this place." --Pharrell Williams, musician and songwriter
