One of Ellen's favorite quotes is:""Here’s to the people who try their hardest to be good enough for everyone; who spend hours reading random quotes to find the right one; who listen to the same song dozens of times because the lyrics mean a lot; who deserve so much more than they get and are willing to fight for it and those who wished upon a star, wasted on someone that will never care; and to the beautiful people that feel lonely in their heart." - Unknown "The heart that’s meant to love you will fight for you when you want to give up, pick you up when you’re feeling down, and will give you their smile when it’s hard for you to find yours. They will NEVER get strength from seeing you weak, power from seeing you hurt, or joy from seeing you cry. The heart that’s meant to love you wants to see the BEST YOU, not the hurt you!

For those of us who suspect that you rarely get something for nothing, such geniality can be discomforting. Yet it feels so good to be around them. They stand there, radiating photons of goodwill, and despite yourself you beam back, and the world, in a twinkling, changes." - Marc Barasch "Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.". - Pablo Cassals "There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved: It is God's finger on man's shoulder." - Charles Morgan "To love another person unconditionally, without fear or judgement, without doubt or jealousy, is to truly understand what love is ~" Dave Hedges “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” .... Lao Tzu (c.570B.C.) "Love is to the heart what the summer is to the farmer's year - it brings to harvest all the loveliest flowers of the soul." ~Author Unknown.
