1 " Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls...are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. "
― James Patterson , Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas

3 " But what is life if you don't live it? "
4 " Bad stuff does happen sometimes, always remember that but remember that you have to move on somehow. You just pick your head up and stare at something beautiful like the sky or the ocean and you move the hell on. "

12 " Bizarre! That's the only word I can use to describe life sometimes. Just freaking bizarre. "
13 " It's so strange. Everything can be going alone just great, and then one day, whack, you're blindsided-- a lousy, crammy blow you didn't see coming. "
14 " Life can be like walking on a high wire. Falling seems a tiny misstep away. "
15 " You know how most people dread a birthday... Well, I feel the exact opposite. I feel that every day is an extraordinary gift. Just to be here, and especially to be here with you. "
16 " You know, I guess I just don't like to talk a lot about sad things. Now you know my flaw. What good does it do to talk about sad things in the past? "
17 " I don't know why, but life is usually more complicated than the plans that we make. "
18 " As soon as I left your place, I miss you. "
19 " There is something so precious about watching your child day after day after day. I want to hold on to every moment, every smile, every single hug and kiss. I suppose it has to do with loving to be needed and needing to give love. "
20 " Life is such a miracle, a series of small miracles. It really is, if you learn how to look at it with right perspective. "
