85 " But the things is, you see, that two people can never actually become one no matter how close they are. And it would not be desirable even if it were possible.

87 " My life will be what I make it," he told her. "That is true for all of us all the time. We cannot know what the future will bring or how the events of the future will make us feel.

Could you have predicted what happened to you in Cornwall? But those things happened to us nevertheless.

That too is a choice we all have to make. "

93 " Families are wonderful institution," he said. "I value mine more than I can possibly say. But each of us has an individual life to live, our own path to tread, our own destiny to forge. You can imagine, if you will, how my family wished to shelter and protect me and do my living for me so that I would never again know fear or pain or abandonment. Eventually I had to step clear of them-or I might have fallen into the temptation of allowing them to do just that. "
94 " Have you noticed," she asked him, "how standing still can sometimes be no different from moving backward? For the whole world moves on and leaves one behind. "
