8. Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. ~ Hebrews 13:1

9. It’s better that we feel something for each other rather than behave like corpses toward one another, the more so because as long as one has no real right to be called a corpse by being legally dead, it smacks of hypocrisy or at least childishness to pose as such. ~ Vincent Van Gogh
