This shall be my response to violence -- to love my friends and family more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before, to be intensely compassionate, to love unconditionally, to create art, to serve, to heal and help others heal, to have zest and enthusiasm and endless optimism, to refuse to be discouraged by defeats, to forgive, to seek to understand, and strive to remember that if we could read the secret history of our enemies, we would find in each life enough sorrow and suffering to disarm all hostility. Love is an endless act of forgiveness.

"Everything can be taken from a man but the last of the human freedoms – to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." - Victor Frankl, Holocaust Survivor
