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

"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."

"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."

"Love the world and yourself in it, move through it as though it offers no resistance, as though the world is your natural element."

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

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