“As a species, we are most animated when our days and nights on Earth are touched by the natural world.

“There are all sorts of experiences we can't really put a name to...The birth of a child, for one. Or the death of a parent. Falling in love. Words are like nets--we hope they'll cover what we mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, grief, or wonder. Finding God is like that, too. If it's happened to you, you know what it feels like. But try to describe it to someone else--and language only takes you so far.” IfsKnowsFeelsTryingMeanChildrenJoyFallNamesLanguageParentGriefWonderHappenedBirthFindingsFalling In LoveFinding GodBirth Of A Child Author:Jodi Picoult
“The story of my recent life.' I like that phrase. It makes more sense than 'the story of my life', because we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality- and in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.” LoveChildrenStoriesAgeFallParentRealizingCasesBirthPromiseLuckyTestsFalling In LoveWanderRealizationSettlingPhrasesMortalityStory Of My LifeBirth And Death Author:Mitch Albom
“I love you crookedly because my heart's been unhinged from birth. The doctors gave me strict instructions not to fall in love: my fragile clockwork heart would never survive. But when you gave me a dose of love so powerful - far beyond my wildest dreams - that I felt able to confront anything for you, I decided to put my life in your hands.” HeartDreamHandsAbleFallFeltPowerfulLove YouBirthMy HeartDecidedDoctorsFalling In LoveFragileInstructionStrictDoseClockworkWildest Dreams Author:Mathias Malzieu
