“At 23, I took the example Of Moses and Jesus And went 40 days without food. In the end, Moses saw his god's glory, Jesus overcame the devil, I got a divorce... ...At 33, I've learned it's best to receive life As It comes, let go of how you think it will go. Rumi said to die before you die. If you follow his advice, you will live your life alive, And when death comes you will recognize him As someone you've walked with before.”

“Giving up on a purposeful journey of life is as deadly as death! When you pursue with tenacity, and strive through the adversities and the vicissitudes of life with a mind of fortitude and get to the end of the journey, you shall surely see life. Awake! Arise and go! Never ever give up!!!”

“Sometimes we learn the lessons of life through pain, melancholy and the vicissitude of life and sometimes we learn the lessons of life through joy and comfort. Whatever be the case, the most important thing is the great lesson we learn out of the lessons life teaches us. If you fail to learn the lessons greatly, life will teach you a great lesson.”

“Life changes. Sometimes it is a slow progression, and sometimes it changes drastically in the blink of an eye. It seems to me that life is like being on a raft in the ocean. There are times when we are up on the crest of a wave, loving life, seeing far into the future with hope and happiness. Then other times there seems to be a huge wave crashing right on top of us, and we feel like we are going to drown. And then there are the times we are just floating on our raft in the calm seas, waiting for something to happen. Whatever the case, life changes. You just have to hold on to your raft and ride the waves.”

“On an overcast day, I look out of the window from my office and see gray clouds slowly meandering overhead. There was a time when the rain and cloud cover weighed heavily on my emotions as if they were gloom in its natural form, crying and raging with thunderous outbursts. But now those rainclouds appear differently to me, more like a soft, temperate, protective cover that makes me want to curl up with a book and relax. Funny how our outlook changes over time. If it seems like circumstances will always be as they are, it is an illusion. As sure as the weather and nature and aging, you can count on life changing both you and your situation. How awful stagnancy would be if this were not true.”

“I discussed in detail what to expect over the next couple of days: what the surgery entailed; how we'd shave only a small strip of her hair to keep it cosmetically appealing; how her arm would likely get a little weaker afterward but then stronger again; that if all went well, she'd be out of the hospital in three days; that this was just the first step in a marathon; that getting rest was important; and that I didn't expect them to retain anything I had just said and we'd go over everything again.”

“It's hard to find a hook to end a story when nothing much has changed since the beginning. But so it is, and so we are. Some stories are just like that, I think. The endings are soft, or maybe not endings at all. Just a continuation. Just a pause. Just a life, waiting for the right time to begin again.”

“Non décidément je n'écrirai pas... Il ne faut pas, il faut "continuer"." C'est une lettre à moi-même. La jeune fille interrompt la survivante : "Tais-toi, tout dire, c'est mourir." Elles cohabitent dans le même corps, l'une cherche la vie, l'autre flirte encore avec la mort. Il m'a fallu du temps pour les réconcilier.”

“I wish I could say we all lived happily ever after. I can't. But I can say we lived. Our love for Nate lives, and he's left us this piece of himself in his art; it was his gift to us. We know him through his art, and I can take comfort in that. I guess the thing about high school is, it's the moment when you start to cross from a being a kid to being an adult, and this journey to know yourself begins. Nate's journey ended to early, and I thought I had to run away to some far-off land to start mine. But, for now, it seems to me that I have enough to explore right here. There's a whole continent to discover in myself, and I know that it's love - love for my parents, my friends, my brother, and my art - that will guide me. Love will be my map.”
