bonaventures: People have asked me what was it about Spence that made me stay with him for nearly thirty years. And this is somehow impossible for me to answer. I honestly don’t know.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give— which is everything. -KH

The only thing that matters is what they feel, and how much they feel, for each other. And if it’s half of what we felt— that’s everything. -ST
