You will find someone or not. Good things do not always happen to good people. Bad things do not always happen to bad people. Go with the flow, but resist when the flow is hurting you. Swim in the direction you want to go." - Ric Garrido "The classic reasons that people have dogs—to feel loved unconditionally, and not for our appearance or net worth; to escape the knowledge of death for a moment with a creature who doesn't know about its existence; to have access to utterly present joy—are only intellectual concepts in the face of this squealing lunatic." - Lena Dunham, A BOX OF PUPPIES - Canine cravings http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/03/25/130325fa_fact dunham#ixzz2NywGz3cc EFTA00393702
