We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.

And one by one the nights between our separated cities are joined to the night that unites us.

Sometimes one hello, makes you never want to say goodbye.

I think the greatest thing is to find someone you can talk to, someone who listens to you, and be able to share your life with them.

It’s only through our connectedness to others that we can be who we are.

Who hears me, who understands me, becomes mine, a possession for all time.

Information helps you to see that you’re not alone. That there’s somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who all have wept, who’ve all longed and lost, who’ve all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you’re not really any different from everyone else.

It is easy to say how we love new friends, and what we think of them, but words can never trace out all the fibers that knit us to the old.

Eating is so intimate. It’s very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you’re inviting a person into your life.

In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond.
