Jeg følte meg mo i knærne. Jeg var lykkelig. Og lykken, den vet ingenting, den sier ingenting, den bare er.

"The only awkward thing that can happen between people who care about each other is missing out on the chance to sit down and talk things out."

"The letters from your Daddy. Keep them with your picture of him, so that one day you can read for yourself how much he loved you." "How much he still loves me." Savannah held the photo tighter to herself. "People can love all the way from heaven."

Noen mennesker lytter, tenkte han, andre venter på å få prate.

Lengst inne

Lengst inne
der vår kjærlighet er ensom
uten ord og ords bedrag

Lengst inne
der vår svakhet føder svakhets
grensløse styrke
Er vi alltid sammen
uten krav og løfters nederlag

Lengst inne
Er vi alltid sammen
vergeløst
og tryggere enn alt.

Men når du vet at det verste kan skje når som helst, er det ikke sånn at du vet at også det beste kan skje når som helst?

Om naturen hadde skapt deg til å gi, ble du født med åpne hender og et åpent hjerte, og skjønt tider kan komme da dine hendeler tomme, er ditt hjerte alltid fullt, og derfra har du ditt å gi - noe varmt, noe vennlig, noe godt - hjelp, trøst og latter. Og noen ganger glad, vennlig latter den beste hjelpen du kan gi.

It's the little things that make all the difference in the world. The kind words we speak and the simple things we do for people.

'There is no use trying; one can't believe impossible things'. 'I dare say you haven't had much practice. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast'.

Det er nettopp i hellet at forberedelser og muligheter møtes.

I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now and live in it forever.

Smilet er som hendenes innside, som fingertupper mot varm hud. Og smilet smitter. Det vi sender ut, vender tilbake.

Å være helt stille sammen med et annet menneske, uten at det kjennes pinlig eller trykkende, er tegn på fortrolighet og tillit.

I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W.
