“Trouble is just like love, after all; it comes in unannounced and takes over before you've had a chance to reconsider, or even to think.”

“Love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep on watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.”

“That's how it can be on life's journey. Some people share your path for a moment, leaving before you've had a chance to even become acquainted.”

“It made me think all the nowheres and even the nobodies of the world might stand a chance after all”

“Some people think God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all.”

“Imagine that, death was just like being asleep. Would he have time to think before it was all over? And would he have time to think that he had thought it? But wait, how much do you have to think before you have finished thinking?”
