I have fewer friends than people say, and more than I had hoped, ... I am very fortunate.

Wellstone was expected to receive a lot of information (from the human-rights groups) about violence committed by the Colombian army, ... If he would be taking that back to the Senate floor, that actually helps the PR campaign of the rebels. It is a strain to think they would want to kill him.

There is interest in knowing how we were able to advance changes and reforms that were viable,

He was elected democratically, but hasn't given any positive results,

I can't see how the U.S. can possibly certify Colombia on human rights grounds or any other grounds.

This may sound crazy, but to love someone so much that their happiness comes before yours; to find someone who wants to be with you as much as you want to be with them is a wonderfully amazing thing. The catch? It's a two-way street, a balancing act. Both must feel the same way or it falls apart. Once found, however, well, my friend, I believe you just found Heaven on Earth.

'They fell in love.' Such a rare and special event cannot be done justice by one statement; it involves so much more than that single sentence could explain: it means two people that were brave enough to show their scars, vulnerability, rough edges, happiest thoughts, along with their worst fears, and find a mutual respect, appreciation, and fondness for one another; they achieved a gift that not many people get to experience in their lifetime in its truest form.

Even if love doesn't stay, be thankful for the visit.

Love is the only thing that you can give and give and give and never run out of; it is also the only thing that, the more you give, the more you have.

Love is not about chasing someone; it's not about being chased or being the one chasing. It's about chasing after dreams and if in that pursuit someone runs parallel to you, that is love.
