Right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, o... - 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."

"I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I'm tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by abscence?"

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

"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."

"We are often insane with happiness. We are also very unhappy for reasons neither of us can do anything about. Like being separated."
