Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery.
Literature flourishes best when it is half a trade and half an art.
A relationship succeeds when obstacles are met with communication and resolution. A relationship flourishes when we take the beloved as our teacher. Shared goals create a transformative, interwoven path.
