The Five People...


"Death ends a life, not a relationship"

"Holding anger is a poison...It eats you from inside...We think that by hating someone we hurt them...But hatred is a curved blade...and the harm we do to others...we also do to ourselves"

"Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it"

"Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else"

"All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair"

"You have peace," the old woman said, "when you make it with yourself"

"Each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one"

"This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for"

"Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to"

"Heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners"

"There are no random acts...We are all connected...You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind..."

"People say they 'find' love, as if it were an object hidden by a rock. But love takes many forms, and it is never the same for any man and woman. What people find then is a certain love. And [he] found a certain love with [her], a grateful love, a deep but quiet love, one that he knew, above all else, was irreplaceable"

The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone"
