“Dreaming isn't wasted time. The waste comes when you have these wonderful dreams, but you don't do anything to make them real.”

“It is a waste to use too many words when just a few will do.”

“What is real?" Asked the boy. "It is a thing that happens to you when a girl loves you for a long time. Not just to play with," Noah said. "But really loves you." "Does it hurt?" Asked the boy. "Sometimes. When you are real you don't mind being hurt.”

“there comes a time when you measure how much you have to lose!”

“Sometimes there are still days when I wake up and wonder if this has actually happened, or if it’s been one long dream.”

“You made me real, and I will hurt for you and because of you and be grateful for the pain. But this? This is forever. Don't do this.”

“No wonder being a real Christian isn't popular. Who wants to suffer so they can find joy?”
