“I'm not trying to save the world, much of it is not worth saving.”

“Ultimately, my love saved me, for my love gave me strength. At night, when sleep was sunwilling to rescue me, I gritted my teeth and devoured my fondest memories.”

“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?”

“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.”

“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?”

“Never deny yourself love, my child. For to deny love is to deny God's greatest gift. And who are we to deny God?”
