“Through my Love for you, I want to express my Love for the whole cosmos, the whole of humanity, and all beings. By living with you, I want to learn to Love everyone and all species. If I succeed in Loving you, I will be able to Love everyone and all species on Earth… This is the real message of Love.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
