Love- the infatuation kind- 'he's so handsome, she's so beautiful'- that can shrivel. As soon as something goes wrong, that kind of love can fly out the window.

It's always difficult to watch someone you love die.

What is it about childhood that never lets you go, even when you're so wrecked it's hard to believe you ever were a child?

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.

Dor: there is a reason God lmits our days. Victor: why? Dor: to make each one precious.

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

If you're always battling against getting older, you're always going to be unhappy, because it's going to happen anyhow.
