This was my first lesson on the nature of love: that in a moment it could fulfil the cravings of a lifetime, like a light that someone might shine into a cavern that has been dark for a million years.
“யாயும் யாயும் யாராகியரோ எந்தையும் நுந்தையும் எம்முறைக் கேளிர்.' எப்படி எனக்கு நீ உறவானாய் - உறவென்று ஆன பிறகு எப்படி எனக்குள் தடமானாய் - எது நம்மைப் பிரியவொட்டாமல் செய்த சக்தி என்று வியந்து நின்றிருக்கிறார்கள். விடை கண்டதில்லை.”

“Gabe was referring to people like Lou who were competitive. Ambitious people, with their eye on the prize instead of the task at hand. People who wanted to be the best for all the wrong reasons and who'd take almost any path to get there. Being the best was only slightly better than being in the middle, which was equal to being the worst. All were merely a state of being. It was how a person felt in that state and why that was the important thing.
Gabe wanted to explain to Lou that people like him were always looking at what the other person was doing, always looking to achieve more and greater things. Always wanting to be better. And the entire point of Gabe's telling Lou Suffern about people like Lou Suffern was to warn him that people who constantly looked over their shoulders often bumped into things.
Paths are so much clearer when people stop looking at what everyone else is doing and instead concentrate on themselves.”

“Don't ever take for granted when people look in your eyes; you have no idea how important it is to be acknowledged. Even if it's an angry stare, because it's when they ignore you, when they look right through you, that you should start worrying.”
