“Why do some people stop growing at age 30, just going from work to the couch and television, when others stay vibrant, curious, almost childlike into their nineties?”
“Aren't you curious? When did it stop working? Why did it stop working? Did we bring out the worst in each other? Was it just one persons fault or both of us? Aren't these questions everyone wants to ask when they split up with someone?”
“Why do people need other people so much? Why can't we just do our work and go home? Why do we have to talk and touch and dream together?”

None of us knows why we love, or why we stop loving, or why everyone we love we lose.”
“don't grow up to fast, darling. Age is inevitable, but if you nuture a childlike heart, you'll never ever grow old.”
