“Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustable well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood? Some afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even concieve of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”
“A building gets torched. All that is left is ashes. I used to think that was true about everything. families, friends, feelings. But now I know, that sometimes, if love proves real, two people who are meant to be together- nothing can keep them apart.”
"People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right."
“Little things used to mean so much to Shelly - I used to think they were kind of trivial. Believe me, nothing is trivial.”
And, my favorite...
"It can't rain all the time..."
