“Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look.”

“A jewel's just a rock put under enourmous heat and pressure. Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look.”

“We'd sit with a big bowl of popcorn, wrapped together in a queen-size blanket, and would escape to a place where magic was ours for the taking, where men rescued the people they loved instead of abandoning them. A place where, no matter how bad things looked at that moment, there would always be a happy ending.”

“I would tell them that when you look at a person, you never know what the're hiding.”

“Things don't always look as they seem.”

“There is a curious thing that happens with the passage of time: a calcification of character... Change isn't always for the worst; the shell that forms around a piece of sand looks to some people like an irritation, and to others, like a pearl.”

“It never failed to amaze me how the most ordinary day could be catapulted into the extraordinary in the blink of an eye.”
