Sometimes our arms are so full with the burdens we carry that it hinders our view of the load those around us are staggering beneath.

It was the first time that I had ever been romantically kissed. It was even better than the chocolate cake.

Every life can be learned from, as either a flame of hope or a cautionary flare.

The strength of a friendship can be measured by the weight of the burden it's willing to share. (If you want to test this just ask someone to help you move.)

The only way to remove pain from death is to remove love from life.

You should always be careful of what you say in parting.

We humans...are seriously flawed. The things that are the most necessary, the most critical to us, are the things we take most for granted. Air. Water. Love. If you have someone to love, you are lucky. If they love you back, you're blessed. And if you waste the time you have to love them, you're a fool. -The Christmas List- p. 296
