Able Quote by Maya Angelou
“I’m grateful for being here, for being able to think, for being able to see, for being able to taste, for appreciating love – for knowing that it exists in a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, and yet love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.”

![“It doesn't matter whether they [beloved ones] are on this planet or not on this planet anymore. Once something is bound by love, as long as that love exists, there is nothing that can separate us. There is the appearance of separation, but the heart, it always treasures and values that.” quote by Richard Bach](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b1b/richard-bach-424_appearance_it-doesn-t-matter-whether-they-beloved-o_397709.jpg)
