Life, he decided, was for living, not for having, and he wanted to experience every moment that he could.

Our story has three parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end. And although this is the way all stories unfold, I still can't believe that ours didn't go on forever.

Why did you come here? To find you.

I love you more than there are stars in the sky and fish in the sea.

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

I knew even then how rare that kind of love is. Only the luckiest people get to experience it at all.

Eventually I came across another passage. This is what it said: I am not commanding you, but I want to treat the sincerity of your love by comparing it to the earnestness of others. The words made me choke up again, and just as I was about to cry, the meaning of it suddenly became clear. God had finally answered me, and I suddenly knew what I had to do.
