"She knocked her shoulder gently against his again. “So, do you mind if I ask you something? It’s personal but important.” A note of wariness crept into his voice. “What is it?” “With the whole Mark of Cain thing, does that mean if I accidentally kick you during the night, I get kicked in the shins seven times by an invisible force?” She felt him laugh. “Go to sleep, Fray."

"Io non voglio cancellare il mio passato, perché nel bene o nel male mi ha reso quello che sono oggi. Anzi ringrazio chi mi ha fatto scoprire l’amore e il dolore, chi mi ha amato e usato, chi mi ha detto ti voglio bene credendoci e chi invece l’ha fatto solo per i suoi sporchi comodi. Io ringrazio me stesso per aver trovato sempre la forza di rialzarmi e andare avanti, sempre."

"I Navajo insegnano ai loro bambini che ogni mattina il sole che sorge è un sole nuovo. Nasce ogni giorno, vive solo per quel giorno, muore alla sera e non ritornerà più. Dicono ai loro piccoli: «Il sole ha solo questo giorno, un giorno. Vivi bene la tua vita in modo che il sole non abbia sprecato il suo tempo prezioso»."

"When we’re incomplete, we’re always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we’re still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on - series polygamy - until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimension to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter."

"You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you’ll never be this way ever again."
