“At first I saw you everywhere. Now only in certain things, at longer intervals.”

“I suppose there is a certain crucial interval in everyone's life when character is fixed forever; for me, it was that first fall term I spent at Hampden.”

“The only thing that I am completely certain of after this experience is that I am no longer afraid of death.”

“There are only certain intervals of time when life of any sort is possible in an expanding universe and we can practise astronomy only during that habitable time interval in cosmic history.”

“That deepest thing, that recognition, that knowledge, that sense of kinship began the first time I saw you,and it is the same now - only a thousand times deeper and tenderer. I shall love you to eternity. I loved you long before we met in this flesh. I knew that when I first saw you. It was destiny. We are together like this and nothing can shake us apart.”

“From all that I saw, and everywhere I wandered, I learned that time cannot be spent. It can only be squandered.”
