“I want you to always hold your head up and follow your dreams wherever they take you. Don’t you ever listen to the people out to hurt you or make you cry. Listen to your heart and be better than them. No one gets ahead by hurting others. The only real peace anyone will ever have is the one that comes from within. Live your life on your own terms and make it a happy life. Always. That’s what’s important, Torimou. (Theo)”

“I want you to be happy, and him to be happy. And yet when you walk that aisle to meet him and join yourselves forever you will walk an invisible path of the shards of my heart, Tessa. I would give over my own life for your happiness. I thought perhaps that when you told me you did not love me that my own feelings would fall away and atrophy, but they have not. They have grown every day. I love you now more desperately, this moment, than I have ever loved you before, and in an hour I will love you more than that.”

“I want you to be happy. I want you to be satisfied. I want you to be fulfilled. I want you to be able to live life on your own terms. I worry that no matter how much he loves you and you love him, marriage might bring you more sorrow than joy. No woman gets married thinking, Golly, I hope he turns me into his personal servant. And yet it happens. All the time. To lots of us. To me. Please refuse to allow him to do this to you. I want you to be happy, and whatever makes you happy will make me happy. I just want him to love you more than you love him. I want him to treat you with respect, and I don't want the burden of keeping the marriage healthy to fall on you. He has to carry his half! I want him to carry your burdens. I want him to consider your hopes and dreams and needs in all his decisions. I want him to show you acts of kindness, large and small. I want you to find joy with him at your side.”

“I want you to be happy, you're my best friend. But it's so hard to let you go now with all that could have been. I'll always have the memories. She'll always have you. Fate has a way of changing just when you don't want it to. Throw away the chains, let love fly away. Till love comes again, I'll be okay.”

“I want you to be the father of my child, yes, more than any other man in the world. I want us to grow old together, and lie tangled up in bed during long winter nights, and walk through the garden at the birth of every spring. I want you to read to me, letters and poems, and I want to feed you when you are sick and keep you warm during fever. I want to be by your side till the day I die.”

“I want you to be very successful. Remember, people like us cannot afford to fail "People like us"… immigrants, exiles, refugees, newcomers, outsiders… Too many words for a shared, recognizable sentiment that, no matter how often described, remains largely undefined. Children of uprooted parents are born into the memory tribe. Both their present and their future are forever shaped by their ancestral past, regardless of whether they have any knowledge of it. If they flourish and prosper, their achievements will be attributed to a whole community; and, in the same way, their failures will be charged up to something bigger and older than themselves, be it family, religion, or ethnicity. While the journey of life may be full of reversals of fortune, children from displaced families can never allow themselves to fall below the level at which their parents started it out.”

“I want you to break the spell. Finish it off.” "What do you mean?” "The spell you did on me and Dimitri.” "That spell is done. It burned itself out.” I shook my head. "No. I keep thinking about him. I keep wanting to…” He smiled knowingly when I didn't finish. "My dear, that was already there, long before I set that up.”
