“Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person,
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out,
just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand
will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping,
and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.” George Eliot
“In the rhythm of life, we sometimes find ourselves out of the tune,
but as long as there's someone which becomes our melody,
the music plays on. Thanks for being one of my best songs.”

suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.” Dana Scully, “The X-Files”
