“Because that's what you do when something terrible happens. You go over and over every little thing, looking for clues, trying to find a pattern and a way to make sense out of the muddle and hurt.”

“Don't be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible. Stay open, forever, so open it hurts, and then open up some more, until the day you die, world without end, amen.”

“Time has that funny way of smoothing out the rough edges of things, even ones that hurt a little bit. Or a lot.”

“Writers remember everything...especially the hurts. Strip a writer to the buff, point to the scars, and he'll tell you the story of each small one. From the big ones you get novels. A little talent is a nice thing to have if you want to be a writer, but the only real requirement is the ability to remember the story of every scar.
Art consists of the persistence of memory.”

“إذا أردت أن تقوي إيمانك، فيجب أن تكون لينًا في داخلك. لأنه لكي يشتد إيمانك، ويصبح صلبًا كالصخرة، يجب أن يكون قلبك خفيفًا كالريشة. فإذا أصابنا بمرض، أو وقعت لنا حادثة، أو تعرضنا لخسارة، أو أصابنا خوف، بطريقة أو بأخرى، فإننا نواجه جميعًا الحوادث التي تعلمنا كيف نصبح أقل أنانية وأكثر حكمة، وأكثر عطفًا. وأكثر كرمًا. ومع أن بعضنا يتعلم الدرس ويزداد رقة واعتدالاً، يزداد آخرون قسوة. إن الوسيلة التي تمكنك من الاقتراب من الحقيقة أكثر تكمن في أن يتسع قلبك لاستيعاب البشرية كلها، وأن يظل فيه متسع لمزيد من الحب.”
