"Without love, we are birds with broken wings."

Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to somebody else.

"No life is a waste," the Blue Man said. "The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone."

"Fairness doesn't govern life and death. If it did, no good man would ever die young."

"All the people you meet here have one thing to teach you." Eddie was skeptical. His fists stayed clenched. "What?" he said. "That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind."

This is a story about a man named Eddie and it begins at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. It might seem strange to start a story with an ending. But all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.

"If we can remember the feeling of love we once had, we can die without ever going away."

How do people choose their final words? Do they realize their gravity? Are they fated to be wise?

"What is it about silence that makes people uneasy?"

"That's what heaven is. You get to make sense of your yesterdays."

"Life has to end." Marguerite said. "Love doesn't"

Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.
