Henry Ford believed the soul of a person is located in their last breath and so captured the last breath of his best friend Thomas Edison in a test tube and kept it evermore.

More quotes by Elizabeth Alexander

Perhaps tragedies are only tragedies in the presence of love, which confers meaning to loss.”

“I wake up grateful, for life is a gift.

In all marriages there is struggle and ours was no different in that regard. But we always came to the other shore, dusted off, and said, There you are, my love.

What if the mightiest word is love, love beyond marital, filial, national. Love that casts a widening pool of light. Love with no need to preempt grievance.

It happened; it is part of who we are; it is our beauty and our terror. We must be gleaners from what life has set before us.
