When we meet someone and fall in love we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong there is nothing left How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.

I will love you always. When this red hair is white I will still love you. When the smooth softness of youth is replaced by the delicate softness of age I will still want to touch your skin. When your face is full of the lines of every smile you have ever smiled of every surprise I have seen flash through your eyes when every tear you have ever cried has left its mark upon your faceI will treasure you all the more because I was there to see it all. I will share your life with you Meredith and I will love you until the last breath leaves your body or mine.

For my part I prefer my heart to be broken. It is so lovely dawn-kaleidoscopic within the crack.

You couldnt relive your life skipping the awful parts without losing what made it worthwhile. You had to accept it as a whole--like the world or the person you loved.

The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it...

I think... if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.

I wont ever leave you even though youre always leaving me.

I like flaws. I think they make things interesting.

Trust your heart if the seas catch fire live by love though the stars walk backward.

I sought to hear the voice of God and climbed the topmost steeple but God declared Go down again - I dwell among the people.
