“Joy said she hadn't really understood the meaning of life until Tyffanie had come along, but now she understood it perfectly. Well, great, I felt like saying.

“There are moments in my life that stick to my memory. I suppose it's the same for everyone—snippets of life pasted in a scrapbook for you to look over every once in a while.

I think you miss something grand when you don't step back and examine everything together.”

“Human life is a passage - it's simply a crossing to somewhere else. Most people stay on the highway, but some choose to go off-road.
Don't ever be afraid to drive off the road and into the grass. You never know what you might find there. And don't regret your choices. We all make mistakes, and sometimes they'll be huge ones.
