‎I never wanted to have anything in my life that I couldn't... - Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

"Right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, or steal the joy of this perfect moment."

"The choices we’re working with here are a block universe, where past, present and future all coexist simultaneously and everything has already happened; chaos, where anything can happen and nothing can be predicted because we can’t know all the variables; and a Christian universe in which God made everything and it’s all here for a purpose but we have free will anyway."

"I think about my mother singing after lunch on a Summer afternoon, twirling in blue dress across the floor of her dressing room"

"Chaos is more freedom; in fact, total freedom. But no meaning. I want to be free to act, and I also want my actions to mean something."

"Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?"
