"Hug and kiss whoever helped get you - financially, mentally, morally, emotionally - to this day. Parents, mentors, friends, teachers.

Don't let the sun go down without saying thank you to someone, and without admitting to yourself that absolutely no one gets this far alone."

Walking with their arms around each other, embracing and kissing on park benches. A sensuousness very much bound up (it seems to me) with the heady ubiquitous smell of lilacs."
