“We were given: Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find.”

“Nature hath given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.”

“God has given us two hands--one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.”

“Look!, We have two eyes, two legs, we are the same as them, the only difference is that they play in Europe.”

“Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?”

“One can love two children. But your heart can be given romantic love to only a single other, said Woolsey.”

“We were two, but only had one heart.”

“How could we be were it not for this planet that provided our very shape? Two conditions—gravity and livable temperature range between freezing and boiling—have given us fluids and flesh. The trees we climb and the ground we walk on have given us five fingers and toes. The "place"… gave us far-seeing eyes, the streams and breezes gave us versatile tongues and whorly ears. The land gave us a stride, and the lake a dive. The amazement gave us our kind of mind.”

“Earth, the world, the fifth planet from the sun—the species that stands on two legs and roams this thin wet crust: it’s changing, Lobey. It’s not the same. Some people walk under the sun and accept that change, others close their eyes, clap their hands to their ears, and deny the world with their tongues.”

“We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding that we must learn a great deal more about 'and.”
