“Just seeing other people, people getting on with their normal lives, is such a hard thing after you've lost someone so close to you.”

“It came on slowly, like the tide filling up the entire shore before you even realize it's coming in.”

“Pain is real when you get other people to believe in it. If no one believes in it but you, your pain is madness or hysteria.”

“Close your eyes and breathe in, concentrate on the breath and heart beat, feel that? You are a living being capable of changing your life and possibly the lives around you, you do not merely exist, your actions affect you and others. Act with love.”

“It wasn't long after the discovery of modern anesthesia that people began to die of it.”

“You love tenderly and warmly, but your love is like friendship. That's why you have good friends, you're sociable, sympathetic toward people.

Those are bad times when everything goes cold, and they follow the times of great love...”

“The funny thing is that although we place so much energy and importance on our wedding day, it isn't the biggest day of our life. The biggest day of your life is every day thereafter. Because it's not the pledge to love someone that matters, but the act of fulfilling that pledge that is most important. In other words, it's only just begun.”
