“But she was in love, and love isn't about making sense.”

“That’s the way these things work, kiddo,” he says. “Love isn't supposed to make sense. It's completely illogical.”

“(Love) isn't about being at the same school or the same town or even the same room, Lexi. It's about being together. Love is a choice you make.”

“Love isn't about how a person makes me feel but how I treat them.”

“My belief in Jesus did not seem rational or scientific, and yet there was nothing I could do to separate myself from this belief. I think Laura was looking for something rational, because she believed that all things that were true were rational. But that isn't the case. Love, for example, is a true emotion, but it is not rational. What I mean is, people actually feel it. I have been in love, plenty of people have been in love, yet love cannot be proved scientifically, and yet we all believe in light and by light see all things. There are plenty of things that are true that don't make any sense. I think one of the problems Laura was having was that she wanted God to make sense. He doesn't. He will make no more sense to me than I will make sense to an ant.”

“I wrote a zen koan once about love, but it didn’t make any sense. That’s how I knew I had accurately described love.”
