“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
-Albert Einstein
“Every life has a measure of sorrow. Sometimes it is this that awakens us.”
-Buddhist quote
"On a more personal note, not a day has gone by that I have not thought about the sacrifice made by New York's first responders on September 11th.. It was a sacrifice that can never be repaid. But it would be a travesty to condemn those of you who contributed to the rescue/recovery effort to the fate of many Vietnam vets who have said, sadly, “No one came home alive from Vietnam”. You protect this city every day, putting your own lives at risk selflessly. You deserve to be taken care of, in the best possible way, and in every necessary way, for as long as it takes." Eva Usadi, From Open Letter to First Responders
