Dear Leonard, to look life in the face...always to look life in the face, and to know it for what it is. At last, to know it, to love it for what it is, and then...to put it away. Leonard...always the years between us, always the years...always...the love...always...the hours.

From my favorite movie: The Hours. My tribute is not, perhaps, a joyous one, but it is what I feel to be an honest one. To me, this quote adequately sums a relationship with life.
