Should you ever feel too lonely...listen for the roar of the sea- for in it are all those who've been and all those who are to come.

I want to do things for people they will never forget. Maybe that’s the best thing I can do in life.

For lonely people, rain is a chance to be touched.

Everything that we love will, at some point, be taken away from us. If I think about everyone I love eventually being taken away from me by death, or simply by getting lost from each other in the world, it makes me value them much more now. And I'm much less likely to be indifferent. For me, indifference is the end of life.

The passions we cannot control are the ones that define us.

I think anyone can fall in love, if you're open and you're willing, but the real test is sustaining it after all the excitement has worn off.

We touched with a softness that pushed through the skin into memory, like arms plunged into a river - we could feel the weight of each other's stones.
