"People must be very suspicious in this part of the world, if they won't open the front door to a neighbor.""Well, naturally!" replied the maid.

For the most part wisdom comes in chips rather than blocks. You have to be willing to gather them constantly, and from sources you never imagined to be probable. No one chip gives you the answer for everything. No one chip stays in the same place throughout your entire life. The secret is to keep adding voices, adding ideas, and moving things around as you put together your life. If you’re lucky, putting together your life is a process that will last through every single day you’re alive.

We’re in love, and now, our relationship has to build slowly and beautifully in order to hold all the joy and misery that lies ahead.

I would have liked to come into the grocery some morning and see them all, even the Elberts and the children, lying there crying with the pain of dying.

I was never sorry when I had thoughts like this; I only wished they would come true.
