“I love you, Not only for what you are, But for what I am When I am with you. I love you Not only for what You have made of yourself, But for what You are making of me. I love you For ignoring the possibilities Of the fool in me And for laying firm hold Of the possibilities for good. Why do I love you? I love you For closing your eyes To the discords - And for adding to the music in me By worshipful listening. I love you because you Are helping me to make Of the lumber of my life Not a tavern But a temple; And out of the words Of my every day Not a reproach But a song. I love you Because you have done More than any creed To make me happy. You have done it Without a word, Without a touch, Without a sign. You have done it Just by being yourself. After all Perhaps that is what Love means.”
![“[My father] advised me to sit every few months in my reading chair for an entire evening, close my eyes and try to think of new problems to solve. I took his advice very seriously and have been glad ever since that he did.” quote by Luis Walter Alvarez](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/753/luis-walter-alvarez-51937_advice_my-father-advised-me-to-sit-every-few-mo_170929.jpg)
