QUOTE

I’ve also learned that you don’t always get to pick the people with whom you travel the journey. You sometimes may think you do, but don’t be deceived. And the corollary of that — and this was my real lesson — is that you start to realize that you can love even the people you don’t like and must love and help everyone.
