“I tire of people speaking of seasons as if you can count on three months of winter turning out three months of summer on repeat. It's not so. The stretches on the high, windblown road are far commoner than the stopovers in comfort, and aren't we always trying to get back to the happier. times?”

I write slowly. A letter might take me an hour or more. I do not rush. I think through each sentence. My hand does not get tired. You mustn't rush. When you rush you pen things you didn't mean and you tire. It takes patience to say exactly what one means, to think of the right word… I believe one ought to be precious with communication, Remember: words, especially those written, are immortal.”

“Now that I'm dying it seems much simpler than it ever did before. Living, I mean. There is no parallel universe. There is no "what could have been if only." In some ways this has brought me a great deal of peace. In other ways it is bitter.
How cruel life is only this long. Now that I see clearly, I'd like more time. It's not to be.”
