“That day we held our hands and each other was indeed a beautiful dream. But, we all wake up in the end.”

“Infatuation is like a drug that gives you the best high yet gives you the worst headache after.”

“It is so exquisitely funny and sad, the way we view each other; how very little, despite our best efforts, we communicate.”

“Are we willing to shun vain repetition and keep our prayers out of an unchallenging rut by asking God to make us more sensitive to our own sin?”

“All dreams of empire end because day breaks in the hearts of the slaves used to build it.”

“We know that we are not dreaming, but, however unable we may be to prove it rationally, our inability proves nothing but the weakness of our reason, and not the uncertainty of all our knowledge as they maintain.”

“Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. We almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light is throws on our plans for the future. The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.”
