“「I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.」”

“「Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, you owe me. Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.」”

“「Your heart and my heart are very old friends.」”

“「He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.」”
