“When we travel, we aim for the sublime. It's the ridiculous stuff, however, that we tend to treasure the most.”

“Maybe when we recognize the trivial for what it is, we can concentrate on what we love most, what we most treasure.”

“If we all knew each morning that there was going to be another morning, and on and on and on, we's tend not to notice the sunrise, or hear the birds, or the waves rolling into the shore. We'd tend not to treasure our time with the people we love. Simply the awareness that our mortal lives had a beginning and will have an end enhances the quality of our living. Perhaps it's even more intense when we know that the termination of the body is near, but it shouldn't be.”

“Life, Enza decided, is not about what you get, but what is taken from you. It's in the things we lose that we discover what we most treasure.”

“When most of us talk to our dogs, we tend to forget that they're not people.”

“For most of us the problem isn’t that we aim too high and fail - it’s just the opposite - we aim too low and succeed.”
