Don't you *ever* let go?"I haven't yet."Why?"I suppose... because in this world, after everyone panics, there's always got to be someone to tip the wee out of the shoe. Terry Prachett
Hugh consoled me, saying, "Don't let it get to you. There are plenty of things you're good at."When asked for some examples, he listed vacuuming and naming stuffed animals. He says he can probably come up with a few more, but he'll need some time to think. David Sedaris

Vladimir: Did I ever leave you? Estragon: You let me go. Samuel Beckett
Love without hope, as when the young bird-catcher. Swept off his tall hat to the Squire's own daughter, So let the imprisoned larks escape and fly. Singing about her head, as she rode by. Robert Graves

As we took the court for the second half, I made a secret now to myself that I would never listen to a single thing that Mel Thompson said to me again. I would obey him and honor him and follow him, but I would not let him touch the core of me again. He was my coach, but I was my master. Pat Conroy
Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own home. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor . . . Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting. Mother Teresa
