Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. I can tell you, as I'm sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you're looking for, no matter how much of them you have."
As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away.
My own father didn't talk a lot about feelings or emotions.
