“None of us could be happy for long, doing nothing.”

“If what they say is right we're none of us going to have time to do all that we planned to do. But we can keep on doing it as long as we can.”

“There is nothing we could ever do to make God love us more; there is nothing we can do to make Him love us less.”

“You could carry your burdens lightly or with great effort. You could worry about tomorrow or not. You could imagine horrible fates or garland-filled tomorrows. None of it mattered as long as you moved, as long as you did something. Asking why was fine, but it wasn't action. Nothing brought the rewards of moving, of running.”

“You weren't a decent man and you didn't do your best. We none of us were and none of us did.”

“What we should see is that there is none among us with nothing to give, and that giving is our purpose.”
