“He ido encontrando tesoros en lugares que no queria buscar. He estado escuchando sabiduría de bocas que no quería escuchar. He ido encontrando belleza donde no queria mirar. Y he aprendido mucho de los viajes que no queria tomar. Perdóname; porque he estado cerrando los oídos y los ojos durante demasiado tiempo he aprendido que los milagros sólo son llamados milagros porque a menudo son vistos por sólo aquellos que pueden ver a través de las ilusiones de la vida.

“The whole book is about how we should try to find rules other people can't reasonably reject, and then he ends it by saying, "The search for how to find these rules will go on forever." I proposed a rule that Chidis shouldn't be allowed to leave because it would make Eleanors sad. And I could do this forever, zip you around the universe showing you cool stuff... and I'd still never find the justification for getting you to stay. Because it's a selfish rule. I owe it to you to let you go.”
