Quote by Brianne Moore

“Susan is going to teach you how to do pastry. Make sure she shows you how to do those brownies of hers." "Ah, no, that's a family recipe," says Susan. "You'll have to marry me to get it." What did I just say? Susan's so horrified, she cringes. Gloria laughs and announces, "The gauntlet has been thrown, Chris!”

“Before you, I thought my life was perfect. I had family, community, a long life in a literal magical land, but I wasn't living--- not really. I had abundant time, so it had no value. When I almost lost you, I realized how meaningless time was when I couldn't be with you. You've shown me that a second lived with the right person is better than one hundred years alone. Now every moment is precious because I know its worth." He opened his hand to reveal a sparkling diamond ring that resembled a star or maybe even a snowflake--- she loved that it could be either. Set in white gold, a round center stone was surrounded by smaller pear-shaped diamonds that formed the points. "Will you do me the honor of making every second of my life priceless?”

“That old saying “he who dies with the most toys wins” couldn’t be more fallacious. Toys are just things and if you give up the precious time doing the things you love, with the people you love, simply to acquire toys, you’re wasting a whole lot more than just money.”

“When we say to people, 'I will pray for you,' we make a very important commitment. The sad thing is that this remark often remains nothing but a well-meant expression of concern. But when we learn to descend with our mind into our heart, then all those who have become part of our lives are led into the healing presence of God and touched by him in the center of our being. We are speaking here about a mystery for which words are inadequate. It is the mystery that the heart, which is the center of our being, is transformed by God into his own heart, a heart large enough to embrace the entire universe. Through prayer we can carry in our heart all human pain and sorrow, all conflicts and agonies, all torture and war, all hunger, loneliness, and misery, not because of some great psychological or emotional capacity, but because God's heart has become one with ours.”
