one of the best and the most painful things about time trave... - Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

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

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

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

"I won't ever leave you, even though you're always leaving me."

"Why is love intensified by absence?"
