We had been so close to missing each other, he and I. He had turned out to be the greatest gift of all.

It means that we should celebrate today's failure because it is a clear sign that our voyage of discovery is not yet over.

When two people love each other, they do not comply and does not dominate, only complement each other.

I had never seen a real live dead person.

It was too bad, but sometimes a little knowledge could ruin your whole day, or at least take off some of the shine.

Ahhh. Bed, book, kitten, sandwich. All one needed in life, really.

It is better to travel with hope in one's heart than to arrive in safety. . . . We should celebrate today's failure because it is a clear sign that our voyage of discovery is not yet over. The day the experiment succeeds is the day the experiment ends. And I inevitably find that the sadness of ending outweighs the celebration of success.
