In the external scheme of things, shining moments are as brief as the twinkling of an eye, yet such twinklings are what eternity is made of -- moments when we human beings can say "I love you, " "I'm proud of you, " "I forgive you, " "I'm grateful for you." That's what eternity is made of: invisible imperishable good stuff. Fred Rogers
About This Quote
