~Albert Einstein

"Full lasting is the song, though he, the singer, passes."
~George Meredith

"Further in, grandmother; grandfather, hold my hand,
as I go on through this life and try to understand.
The beauty of your faces I will never see again,
but I know you're with me now, leading me further in."

~ Greg Brown
