“We all have reasonsfor moving.I moveto keep things whole.”

“In a sense we have to keep sweeping out the trash. It all has to go. Your whole history – it has to go. The whole trip has to go so that you can go on.”

“All things that we are given are not ours to keep, all we get is the moment.”

“I mean, we all have secrets we keep from each other. We all think things…and no one knows about it.” “Shanna, I know about the vibrator.”

“I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.”

“The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is to hand over your whole self--all your wishes and precautions--to Christ. But it is far easier than what we are all trying to do instead. For what we are trying to do is to remain what we call "ourselves," to keep personal happiness as our great aim in life, and yet at the same time be "good.”
