“We all know that the people we love are mortal, we all know we’re mortal, we know it’s going to end; you cannot prepare yourself for it.”
“Music, the greatest good that mortals know, and all of heaven we have below”
“We do not know, we cannot tell, no mortal mind can conceive the full import of what Christ did in Gethsemane.”
“We the mortals touch the metals,the wind, the ocean shores, the stones,knowing they will go on, inert or burning,and I was discovering, naming all the these things:it was my destiny to love and say goodbye.”
“We must be born with an intuition of mortality. Before we know the word for it. Before we know that there are words. Out we come, bloodied and squalling, with the knowledge that for all the points of the compass, there's only one direction. And time is its only measure.”
“Oh, never and forever aren't for mortals, love. But we won't be parted till I know it's right that we part.”
