“We all live best in our imaginations.”

“We all hate something from our past, Cal. That's why we run from it, or compensate for it, or even fill our van with homeless people. But when something like this happens-when your dad shows up-maybe there is a bigger purpose. 'What you intended for evil, God intended for good.' Genesis 50:20”

“Tell your story.That's the secret of immortality. The one true way to live forever.”

“We are all ordinary. We are all boring. We are all spectacular. We are all shy. We are all bold. We are all heroes. We are all helpless. It just depends on the day.”

“The point is, as death gets closer - what's so wrong with wanting someone you love to live forever?”

“From ancient to modern times, the human animal knows how to find fighting.”
