“The root of things, what they were all afraid of saying, was that happiness is dirt cheap. You can have it for nothing. Beauty.”
“You have to be careful what seeds you sow on dirt where your roots have not yet touched the bedrock.”
“If a beautiful thing were to remain beautiful for all eternity, I'd be glad, but all the same Id look at it with a colder eye. I'd say to myself: You can look at it any time, it doesn't have to be today.”
“Words are cheap. The biggest thing you can say is 'elephant'.”
“God reminded me how beautiful we all are to Him, after all, we were created in His own image, and He looks at me, at you, in all our sweat and dirt and brokenness, and says, "I choose you. You are beautiful.”
“The last time you were happy about nothing; the first time you were afraid about nothing. Which came first?”
