• It's late at night and I can't sleep.
  Missing you just runs too deep.
  Oh I can't breathe, thinking of your smile.
  Every kiss I can't forget, this aching heart ain't broken yet.
  Oh God I wish I could make you see
  Cause I know this flame isn't dying
  So nothing can stop me from trying
  Baby you know that
  Maybe it's time for miracles
  Cause I ain't giving up on love
  You know that maybe it's time for miracles
  Cause I ain't giving up on love
  No I ain't giving up on us

• I count no more my wasted tears;
  They left no echo of their fall;
  I mourn no more my lonesome years;
  This blessed hour atones for all.
  I fear not all that Time or Fate
  May bring to burden heart or brow,-
  Strong in the love that came so late,
  Our souls shall keep it always now!

• Man is his own star, and the soul that can, render an honest and a perfect man,
  Commands all light, all influence, all fate: nothing to him falls early or too late.

• We have simply arrived too late in the history of the universe to see this primordial simplicity easily... But although the symmetries are hidden from us, we can sense that they are latent in nature, governing everything about us. That's the most exciting idea I know: that nature is much simpler than it looks. Nothing makes me more hopeful that our generation of human beings may actually hold the key to the universe in our hands - that perhaps in our lifetimes we may be able to tell why all of what we see in this immense universe of galaxies and particles is logically inevitable.
