Maya/Contacts

The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough of is love.
---Henry Miller

There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.
---Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
---Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
---Emily Dickinson

Zach	What's going on in that beautiful mind? I've discovered that seeing is one thing, understanding another thing entirely. What's happened to us? I'm lost at sea. Help me find my way back to you.
Skylar	I watch you fight your demon, and I don't know when to step in... I'm trying to be the person you see in me. But I can only offer the person I am, in this moment. And sometimes I don't feel like that's enough. I'd do anything to make you believe in yourself. In me. In us.
J	When everything else in this world flickers and falters and falls... You keep me awake and alive. “Life damages us, every one. We can’t escape that damage. But now, I am also learning this: We can be mended. We mend each other.” ---Veronica Roth
Anders	Sometimes we find what we need in the strangest places. You're an unexpected joy, another source of light and laughter. No matter what comes, we'll at least have the music. And for now, I'll hold on to the hope you've given me. And I'll hope for more.
Victor	They hide in the wind, they never leave us... "If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?" ---Jodi Picoult, Nineteen Minutes
Alma	A light in the dark. You shine, and you warm the people around you.
Wednesday	Your gifts are exactly what we need. Don't be afraid to step into your power. Be the voice of what is just and right.
Raphael	Thank you for bringing me a flicker of hope. Maybe if I nurture this tiny flame, it can grow into something more.
Riley	A bright-burning kindred spirit, which is the last thing I would have expected to find in one of the Chorus... And a generous soul. Her light is sorely needed in this time and place.
The kid	So young, to be that scarred. I never thought I had mothering urges, but they're awake and alive now. If only I could keep him out of danger. But there's no sheltering a warrior, even if he's ridiculously young to be fighting this war. I just wish I could offer healing for that wounded spirit. In the meantime, I'll offer whatever I can.
Aster	Maybe the secret to being so happy in such a fucked-up world is... believing that it's all a game. Maybe that apartment of hers is my Second Life... I'm free of so many burdens when I'm with her.
Amane	I don't think I've ever had a friend return to me before. It's a strange feeling.
Emma	We're more alike than you think. Which came as a bit of a shock to me. I just hope I can help.
Jae	What made that need? Who ignited the fire? And how can I help you to heal?
Graham	I guess some things can't be left behind. Not entirely. Where do we go from here?
Franklin	Heal me and hurt me. Except it isn't always the kind of hurt I like. When you walk away, I end up feeling more worthless than ever.
Kai	If we can just build a bridge over the space between... I think we could work really well together. I'm not sure what your side of a chasm is about. I know mine's about being intimidated: you're so many things I wish I could be. Tough, and resourceful, and certain... at least on the outside. Maybe some of it's a mask, because you're hard to read, on top of everything else. But I desperately want to count you as an ally and a friend.
Preston	I hope they haven't driven you away. You were one bright light of hope in a very, very bleak time. I need that light, and so do they... maybe even more.
Roland	It seems like ally might be too much to ask... I'm hoping for friend, though.
Arthur	Okay... It's mostly the white coat. Mostly. Some of it might be the crazy.
Aaron	Goddamn arrogant Hermetic asshole motherfucker. Also? On top of being Hermetic (as if that isn't enough)? A total dick.
Alexandra	Here be dragons. Ambition is one thing, but... I got a bad feeling about this one.
Shadi	I just want to know why. That's the piece I don't understand. Maybe I never will.
Sera	You don't deserve this.
Sandra	I still don't understand. I can only hope that you somehow serve Gaia, in your way.
