"I am nothing special     ;      just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived     :      I've loved another with all my heart and soul     ;      and to me, this has always been enough."
