It’s dark now and I am very tired. I love you, always. Time... - Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

"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?"

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

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

"I sit quietly and think about my mom. It's funny how memory erodes, If all I had to work from were my childhood memories, my knowledge of my mother would be faded and soft, with a few sharp memories standing out."

"...all of our laments could not add a single second to her life, not one additional beat of the heart, nor a breath."
