“A truth comes out when it must;A dream comes true when it will.Though the world turn to ash and dustA secret’s a secret still.”

“A truth that no one knows is still the truth.”

“Manufactured--synthetic--even virtual, if that is what you turned out to be--I would love you.”

“And might I live long enough to see the world yet again as a place completely different, through eyes that see another truth not yet revealed?”

“And if I should leave you, for any reason," he added, tightening his grip as she struggled to free her hand, "I will return to you. That is as certain as the sun rising tomorrow morning and the thunderbolt falling tomorrow night. That is as sure as the god's existence. I will come back to you, or I will find you - over and over again, as often as we are parted, until the end of the world itself.”

“Are you asking me if there is a god?' he said, still in that soft voice. 'All I can say is, I believe there is. I feel him when I sing. He has responded to my prayers countless times. He guides my actions and he dwells in my heart. I know he is there.”

“His brown eyes were set back in deep hollows, as though he looked out from a place of shadow on all the verities of the world.”
