“It was funny how the old practices always came around again.

Scientists hated to look backward for anything.”

“Time is what keeps things from happening all at once.”

“I'm afraid of time... I mean, I'm afraid of not having enough time. Not enough time to understand people, how they really are, or to be understood myself. I'm afraid of the quick judgements or mistakes everybody makes. You can't fix them without time. I'm afraid of seeing snapshots, not movies.”

“How sad it was, Carmen thought, that you acted awful when you were desperately sad and hurt and wanted to be loved.

“Relationships are valuable no matter who they are between.”

“It is not objective proof of God's existence that we want but, whether we use religious language for it or not, the experience of God's presence.”
