“Because only when you risk, can you find the reward, just as my father had taught me. One can stay home and avoid the pirates, or get on the ocean and experience life.”

“You have to laugh, Joan. If you don't find things to laugh about, you'll find nothing to make you happy. It's cold and all but hopeless, sure. No one can deny that. But one day, the sun will shine again, and the hunger and pain will be over as it was before. We don't know how we'll get through, but we will somehow.”

“... Both are terrible, hopeless situations where fate has wrested all control from your hands. Yet you two dared confront fate, to say. 'We're not done yet.' You said to fate, 'You may control our circumstance but not what we think, not who we are, not how we react.' Fate gives to those who challenge it. It must. To be so bold is remarkable, whether you know it or not.”

“What Is Love?
Love is a white flame - And a smouldering smoky fire
It is a green tree - And a grey cathedral spire
Love is an ecstasy - pure - It stirs in mud and slime
It is youth and delight - It is cold and sublime
There is none shall say
What love is - or is not,
And which of us shall say:
'Dwell!' or 'Depart!'
Love will not stay
And will not leave the heart
At our desire or plea.
But oh ! for me
This would I pray
That Love might be a tree
Rooted in time - for all eternity.”
