I close my eyes, thinking of rhythm...
This time, our eyes are open, because we don't want to miss seeing each other...
...and that is when I understand what it is to feel whole...
...So this is what love is like... I want to be contained, to come through to her other side. We cling to each other, heat steaming from our bodies.
Astonished, that's the way she's watching me. And I suppose it's the way I'm watching her too... wincing as we are ripped apart. It just doesn't feel the same. NOW that I KNOW what it is like to feel complete, it's no good to be by myself." -Page 292-293
"The funny thing is, they look really peaceful. Like you say about angels. They're holding each other so tight, even fast asleep, that it's as if the rest of the world couldn't possibly matter." -Page 326
"If you want to love a parent you have to understand the incredible investment he or she has in you. If you are a parent, and you want to be loved, you have to deserve it." -Page 330
"I awakened before the five o'clock wake-up call just for the chance to watch you with all your defenses down. You have always been so lovely when you stop resisting. It is your face that I remember the most: alabaster, honest, the face of a child." -Page 333
"you've got a mind of your own, and you only need me to pull the answers out from inside you...
Let me tell you a little something about love. It's different every time. It's nothing more than a chemical reaction, an arrow over an equation, but the elements change. The most fragile kind of love is that between a man and a woman. Chemistry, again: if you introduce a new element, you never know how stable the original bond is. You may wind up with a new union, with something left behind. I believe that you can fall in love many times with many different people. However I don't think that you can fall in love the same way twice. One type of relationship may be steady. Another may be fire and brimstone. Who is to say if one of these is better than the other? The deciding factor is how it all fits together. YOUR LOVE, I mean, AND YOUR LIFE.
The problem is that when you're old enough to really find a soulmate, you're already carrying
around all this extra baggage... And sometimes, most of the time, you fall really hard for
someone who you just can't squeeze into the limits of your life. The
bottom line is: when your heart
sets its sight on someone, it
doesn't consult with your mind.
You don't know how lucky you are. There's one person for each of us on this whole planet with whom we can really connect. And you found yours.
I know how it feels too, you see, because I have had you.
I have always been your greatest fan... I can identify you in a room by the
motion of the air around you...
You have untapped strength...
It's what got you through your childhood...
It's what I fell in love with.
You came to me... because you couldn't remember who you were
anymore.
Don't you see?
You're everyone's anchor. You are our center."
