“Let the story settle inside you. Let it move and twist around until you see what it has to say to you.”

“People say it all the time--'follow your heart.' What are we supposed to do--take our heart out and walk around behind it--follow it down the sidewalk to the mall? Your feet will lead you to your heart. Ha! "Maybe it just means you should know your heart, because if you know it, you might do what it says to do. I don't think it means you do whatever you damn well please. I don't think the heart speaks very loudly either--just tosses you hints and whispers.”

“When you know you love someone, when you know it's finally the right time, you don't just wait around for the right words, you just say the sentences even if they're all mixed up and imperfect.”

“Those are the facts. It's easy to believe in facts, my dear. To believe in the story you need faith. Tell me the story as you experienced it.”

“It is not about how it ends; it is about the journey. The full story. You have to know the full story to care about or know the ending.”

“Be careful what you believe - it is who you are.”

“I hope you never understand what it is to know that all you believed is wrong--sorely wrong.”
