“no, no, it's not all random, if it really was all random, the universe would abandon us completely. and the universe doesn't. it takes care of its most fragile creations in ways we can't see. like with parents who adore you blindly. and a big sister who feels guilty for being human over you. and a little gravelly-voiced kid whose friends have left him over you. and even a pink-haired girl who carries your picture in her wallet. maybe it is a lottery, but the universe makes it all even out in the end. the universe takes care of all its birds.”
― R.J. Palacio, Wonder

“This is what amazes me: that people are new every day. That they are never the same. You must always invent them, and they must always invent themselves, too.”
― Lauren Oliver, Requiem

“That's how it is in heaven. It's just love, and no one forgets who they love.”
― R.J. Palacio, Wonder
