“And when you get down to it, Lily, that is the only purpose grand enough for a human life. Not just to love but to persist in love.”

“There was no twinkle in his eyes. "Maybe I just love some of you. Maybe not enough."Tiger Lily blinked at him, and she didn't understand how anyone could only love a part. Her greedy heart didn't work that way.”

“A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.”

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.”

“If you are always frightened for yourself you can't act, and then life loses its purpose. You just have to tell yourself that, when you get right down to it, you don't matter all that much.”

“Live your life until love is found Or love's gonna get you down”
