“You have made my life into something so extraordinary, you can't even know.”

“...You can't unlearn something, even if you want to. You know what you know.”

“Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

“You have so many extraordinary gifts; how can you expect to lead an ordinary life?”

“So there you have it: two things & I can't bring them together & they are wrenching me apart. These two feelings, this knowledge of a world so awful, this sense of a life so extraordinary—how am I to resolve them?”

“...I realized that life isn't something to be scared of. That you don't have to hold on so tightly that you can't breathe.”
