“How can you say goodbye to someone who is a part of you?”

“Because...because how can I expect the world to be a better place if I ain't gonna try real hard to make it better?”

“A sibling would be the one person in the whole world who would be with you from birth until death. At every step, she or he would be there.”

“A Reason? People always say that. But only pepole who haven't really suffered talk about reasons. Because that's so much eaiser to say than to hear. What's the reason that our patients die? That they'll never walk again? That we've treated children whose limbs have been blown off? For that matter what's the reason for this hideous war?”

“They say all things end. But I say all things begin.”

“without you there is only me, and with you there is us.”

“I'll treasure every day that I have with you. For I've known what life was like before you and..and since you, and as far as I'm concerned, these are two different lives. And one makes me so very much happier that the other.”
