“You can’t put a price on the rituals of love, because you never know what will happen next. I suppose fear is part of the excitement and we can’t have one without the other.”

“You can’t explain love” he said out loud. “That’s how it gets ruined.”

“We see in others what we want and what we fear.”

“You were unsure which pain is worse -- the shock of what happened or the ache for what never will.”

“Everything you areafraid of will never happen. It’s the events you cannotconceive of that happen.”

“To love again, you must not discard what has happened to you, but take from it the strength you'll need to carry on.”

“She once told me how she could feel the missing part of her arm- how she sometimes experienced the sensation of a hand- that it is possible to feel something without its physical presence.Perhaps love is like this and we are all limbs of one giant intangible body.”
