"I watched the spinning stars, grateful, sad and proud, as only a man who has outlived his destiny and realizes he might yet forge himself another, can be."

"I will never claim to know what you are thinking. I only hope I am on your mind."

"Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you."

"There was nowhere I could go that wouldn't be you."

"Imagination doesn't always make you long for what you cannot have, but rather thrive in what you do not have."

"I don’t know what they are called, the spaces between seconds– but I think of you always in those intervals."

"And, at such a time, for a few of us there will always be a tugging at the heart—knowing a precious moment had gone and we not there.

They’ve gone and you can only wait for the pain to pass."

"Wanting him to come back before anyone notices part of the world has not moved since he left."

"If you don't receive love from the ones who are meant to love you, you will never stop looking for it."

"The Portuguese call it saudade: a longing for something so indefinite as to be indefinable. Love affairs, miseries of life, the way things were, people already dead, those who left and the ocean that tossed them on the shores of a different land — all things born of the soul that can only be felt."

"When we were we, with you is the only place I wanted to be. When we were just two separate souls, I used to dream of a place where we'd come together as one.-Jarod Kintz and Karen Quan"

"Fair as the moon and joyful as the light;Tot wan with waiting, not with sorrow dim; Not as she is, but was when hope shone bright;Not as she is, but as she fills his dreams."

"Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee."

"The beauty of a fragment is that it still supports the hope of brilliant completeness."
