"... someone in the world awaits you, wether it's in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each oder, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everythng under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning."
