“If you have no intention of loving or being loved, then the whole journey is pointless.”
― Kate DiCamillo, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

“Books. Cats. Life is good.”
― T.S. Eliot

“And I thought about how, actually, if you wanted to, you could say the same thing about life. That life is terrifying and overwhelming and it can happen at any moment. And when you’re confronted with life you can either be cowardly or you can be brave, but either way you’re going to live. So you might as well be brave.”
― Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“And Edward was surprised to discover that he was listening. Before, when Abilene talked to him, everything has seemed so boring, so pointless. But now, the stories Nellie told struck him as the most important thing in the world and he listened as if his life depended on what she said. It made him wonder if some of the mush from the ocean floor had gotten inside his china head and damaged him somehow.”
― Kate DiCamillo, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
