"It's surprising how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time."
Time
"Don't try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the center and everything coming out equal. When you're good, bad things can still happen. And if you're bad, you can still be lucky."
Philosophy
"This will be Great Mam's last spring. Her last June apples. Her last fresh roasting ears from the garden."
Reflection
"Like many human beings, he took the least sign of conversation as his cue to make noise."
Life
"But if we can't summon the empathy to imagine what our dead would have asked of us, or the selflessness to give it, then we must accept the desperately sad verdict that each generation's hopes will die with it, and no cumulative progress is possible for the human will."
Philosophy
"Science doesn't tell us what we should do. It only tells us what is."
Knowledge
"It's a selfish habit. I never learn anything from listening to myself."
Psychology
"A choir of seedlings arching their necks out of rotted tree stumps, sucking life out of death. I am the forest's conscience, but remember, the forest eats itself and lives forever."
Nature
"Awareness is everything. Hallie once pointed out to me that people worry a lot more about the eternity *after* their deaths than the eternity that happened before they were born. But it's the same amount of infinity, rolling out in all directions from where we stand."
Philosophy
"Mother, you can still hold hold on but forgive, forgive and give for long as long as we both shall live, I forgive you, Mother."

Bitter and black, half-way down, in the darkness, in the shaft which ran from the sunlight to the depths, perhaps a tear formed; a tear fell; the waters swayed this way and that, received it, and were at rest. Never did anybody look so sad."
