It is said, and it is true, that just before we are born
a cavern angel puts his finger to our lips and says,
"Hush, don't tell what you know."
This is why we are born with a cleft on our upper lips
and remembering nothing of where we came from.

--Roderick MacLeish

I firmly believe that the most important factor is our attitude and human motivation . . .
genuine human love, human kindness and human affection . . .
True love or compassion is actually . . . a strong sense of care and
concern for the happiness of the other; that is genuine love.
Such true love automatically becomes a sense of responsibility.
When we have that kind of love with its strong sense of responsibility,
we will never lose our hope or our determination.

--Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness
The Fourteenth Dalai Lama
