“Your face is marked with lines of life, put there by love and laughter, suffering and tears. It's beautiful.”

“it seems that tears and laughter, love and hate, make up the sum of life!”

“It is a great art to have an abundance of knowledge and experience - to know the richness of life, the beauty of existence, the struggles, the miseries, the laughter, the tears - and yet keep your mind very simple; and you can have a simple mind only when you know how to love.”

“I will love you always. When this red hair is white, I will still love you. When the smooth softness of youth is replaced by the delicate softness of age, I will still want to touch your skin. When your face is full of the lines of every smile you have ever smiled, of every surprise I have seen flash through your eyes, when every tear you have ever cried has left its mark upon your face,I will treasure you all the more, because I was there to see it all. I will share your life with you, Meredith, and I will love you until the last breath leaves your body or mine.”

“They were drugged, stone in love. To them every scar on the face of the world was a beauty mark.”

“They say an interesting life leaves its mark on your face, and if that’s true,she’s got one hell of a story.”
