"Why is it when I pursue the praises of men I find myself with everything that I've looked for but nothing that I need? That's because I have an extraordinary habit of looking for the wrong thing in the wrong place."
"I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything."
"If I'm chasing the wrong thing, what I'm chasing will end up chasing me. And in the end, I'm less likely to be the one doing the catching."
"Don't wait for wisdom to come and rescue you, seek it daily."
"The roads of life are paved wide and skirt the mountains. And these very roads are choked with a steady stream of pathetically pedantic travelers who in reality have no intent of traveling. And if we are to discover the real travelers, much less join them, we will find them out on precarious paths that defy the roads and scale the mountains."

"I love to see those paragliders weaving softly around Moon Point, their legs floating above you in the air. When they drift in for a landing, their feet touch the ground and they trot forward from the continued motion of the glider, which billows down like a setting sun. I never get tired of watching them and I've seen them thousands of times. I always wondered what that kind of freedom would feel like."
"I don't get why prom is like a mini - wedding these days...No one should spend that kind of money for a high school dance."
"It was more work than it seemed, looking through a telescope, as the Earth was continually moving and you had to move along with it. You don't realize how fast this acutally happens, and it's kind of both creepy and wonderful when you stop to think about it. And it makes you realize there's absolutely no way to avoid change. You can sit there and cross your arms and refuse it, but underneath you, things are still spinning away."
"It was strange to have those papers signed. Like any big project or crisis that takes every waking and non - waking moment in your life, it was odd to have it concluded. A move, a college degree, a wedding - something long - strived - for is completed, whatever the outcome, and there is a huge space where it all once was. All that open time now, and a continuing nagging sense that there's something you need to be doing."
"And pity - people who inspire it in you are actually very powerful people. To get someone else to take care of you, to feel sorry for you - that takes a lot of strength, smarts, manipulation. Very powerful people."
"In the middle of the night I am awakened by a sound. I sit up abruptly in bed. I hear it again. It's music. Wait, it sounds like the ice cream man, in our house. Is this some kind of twisted nightmare? The flipping ice cream man, breaking in to chop us all up in our beds to the tune of 'Zippity Do Dah'?... My heart slows. I remember. There is no psycho ice cream man here. It is just our new musical soap dispenser."
"An untold story has a weight that can submerge you, sure as a sunken ship at the bottom of the ocean. I learned that. This kind of story, this kind of things kept secrets - they have the power to keep your head in forever, and most of all for yourself."
