“ Love is not two people clinging to each other ; Love can only be fostered between two strong people fully secure in their individuality .” ~ Daisaku Ikeda

“ We all seem to be sleepwalking like cruel yet friendly strangers – bumping into each other but never really making contact … We [ could ] all mean something important to each other if we ’ d just open our hearts and our feelings and not be afraid of the consequences .” ~ Shirley MacClaine
( Much more importantly , whether legal or not , Love always bears the Good Fruit of Joy & Peace .)
