“An ocean could not explain the distance we have traveled.”

“Their length could not be measured in years, just as an ocean could not explain the distance we have traveled, just as the dead can never be counted.”

“I walked into a bakery seven years later and there he was. He had dogs at his feet and a bird in a cage beside him. The seven years were not seven years. They were not seven hundred years. Their length could not be measured in years, just as an ocean could not explain the distance we had traveled, just as the dead can never be counted. I wanted to run away from him, and I wanted to go right up to him.”

“We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.”

“...you need to travel to see the ocean - I don't need the ocean - I have the sky...”

“His errors and failures have not traveled the same distance as his successes.”
