Important Quote

Finding out that we are one of a kind could be a lonely and frightening thing without the reassurance of knowing that we belong to humankind... and that all humans laugh and cry about many of the same things; that all have similar hopes and fears; that all have many of the same needs; and that those needs are best met by other human beings who can love us for both our similarities and our differences.

--- Fred Rogers
