“To me, love is more like a lending library. To keep it, we must continually renew it. Otherwise we pay a hefty fine.”

“Each time you love—be it a man or a child, a cat or a horse—you add color to this world. When you fail to love, you erase color.” She smiles. “Love, in any of its forms, is what takes this journey from a bleak black-and-white pencil sketch to a magnificent oil painting.”
She touches my cheek. “It’s the sweet fruit that paints the field and wakes our senses. I’m not saying you must be on a constant quest for it, but please, if love comes to you, if you find it within your grasp, promise me you’ll pluck it from the vine and give it a good looking-over, won’t you?”

“All I'm saying is, persons have to change. I am a person. I will change”

“Everything there is in the world, she thought, is in books. She smiled at the book and said, "Hello David.”
