“Hapiness is as exclusive as a butterfly, and you must never pursue it. If you stay very still, it may come and settle on your hand. But only briefly. Savour those moments, for they will not come in your way very often.”

“I suppose I didn’t realize that’s what it would feel like getting older,”
Phoebe confesses. She always imagined getting older as a narrowing street
that got darker as you walked. A concretization of your personality and all
the things that made you who you were. “But it’s not, is it?”
Patricia shakes her head.
“Pamela, it is all about moving on. Saying goodbye to whoever you
thought you were, whoever you thought you would be. Let me
demonstrate.”

“The woods are never solitary—they are full of whispering, beckoning, friendly life. But the sea is a mighty soul, forever moaning of some great, unshareable sorrow, which shuts it up into itself for all eternity.

The woods are human, but the sea is of the company of the archangels.
- Anne's House of Dreams”

“A human being, any human being at all, has so perishingly few chances to stay right there, to let go of time and fall into the moment. And to love someone without measure, explode with passion... A few times when we are children, maybe, for those of us who are allowed to be... But after that? How many breaths are we allowed to take beyond the confines of ourselves? How many pure emotions make us cheer out loud without a sense of shame? How many chances do we get to be blessed by amnesia? All passion is childish, it's banal and naive, it's nothing we learn, it's instinctive, and so it overwhelms us... Overturns us... It bears us away in a flood... All other emotions belong to the earth, but passion inhabits the universe. That is the reason why passion is worth something. Not for what it gives us, but for what it demands that we risk - our dignity, the puzzlement of others in their condescending shaking heads...”
