Right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, o... - Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

"Why is love intensified by absence?"

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

"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."

"Chaos is more freedom; in fact, total freedom. But no meaning."

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