Love can't be pinned down by a definition, and it certainly can't be proved, any more than anything else important in life can be proved.

When a promise is broken, the promise still remains. In one way or another, we are all unfaithful to each other, and physical unfaithfulness is not the worst kind there is.

Love isn't how you feel. It's what you do.

This wasn't the first time that I'd come close to death, but it was the first time I'd been involved in this part of it, this strange, terrible saying goodbye to someone you've loved.

There is nothing so secular that it cannot be sacred, and that is one of the deepest messages of the Incarnation.

Oh child, your language is so utterly simple and limited that it has the affect of extreme complication. -Aunt Beast

In reading we must become creators. Once the child has learned to read alone, and can pick up a book without illustrations, he must become a creator, imagining the setting of the story, visualizing the characters, seeing facial expressions, hearing the inflection of voices. The author and the reader "know" each other; they meet on the bridge of words.
