1.The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others,devote yourself to your community around you,and devote yourself to creating something that gives your purpose and meaning. 2.The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love,and to let it come in. 3.Once you learn how to die,you learn how to live. 4.Love is how you stay alive,even after you are gone. 5.Build a little community of those you love and who love you. 6.There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways,with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can and what their life is alike. 7. Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for on another.
