“I have room in me for love, and for ever so many little lives.”

“I love the people,' I said. 'I have room in me for love, and for ever so many little lives.”

“And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.”

“I have lived a life full of love and pain, of Joy and Sorrow, and I live on still. i have many, many years ahead of me, each day with the potential to be filled to the brim with trials to face and challenges to overcome.”

“Touching him was always so important to me. It was something I lived for. I never could explain why. Little, nothing touches. My fingers against his shoulder. The outsides of our thighs touching as we squeezed together on the bus. I couldn't explain it, but I needed it. Sometimes I imagined stitching all of our little touches together. How many hundreds of thousands of fingers brushing against each other does it take to make love? Why does anyone ever make love?”

“I'm happy that I have brought laughter because I have been shown by many the value of it in so many lives, in so many ways.”
