“The problem with time, I've learned, whether it's those first two weeks I got to spend with you, or the final two months I got to spend with him, eventually time always runs out. I have no idea where you are out there in the world, John. But I understand that I lost the right to know these things long ago. No matter how many years go by, I know one thing to be as true as ever was - I'll see you soon then.”
― Nicholas Sparks, Dear John

“他接著又說:「我走進一個園子,藉著默想一朵花,就 能擁抱當下。一朵花愈是嬌艷、活潑,它生命也愈是脆弱 難懂。美本質上是脆弱的-你不解溫柔地碰,它就消失; 你握得太緊,花瓣會掉落,你必須輕輕捧著它,專心凝望, 不然它就溜了。如果你想在田野中體味花的美,就不能分析 它,解剖它,企圖了解它的成分或本源。我們的生命也 樣,是具體的,卻也是難懂的。誰可以透徹剖析我們的生 命,闡述其多采多姿?但我們可以體驗、感受,就在當下,而 不要解剖生命,像解剖花朵,將花瓣拿掉。」”

“The job of a good dog was ultimately to be with them, remaining by their sides no matter what course their lives might take. All I could do now was offer him comfort, the assurance that as he left this life he was not alone but rather was tended by the dog who loved him more than anything in the whole world.”
― W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog's Purpose

“I guess I had never bothered to consider that there might such a thing as a boy, but now that I had found one, I thought it was just about the most wonderful concept in the world. He smelled of mud and sugar and an animal I'd never scented before, and a faint meaty odor clung to his fingers, so I licked them.”
