     From this book, let me share with you my favorite lines or quotes...

- " Man alone measures time.

    Man alone chimes the hour.

   And, because of this, man 

  Alone suffers a paralyzing fear

  That no other creature endures.

  A fear of time running out..."

- "Mankind is connected in ways 

   it does not understand -

  even in dreams..."

- "It is never too late or too soon.

   It is when it is supposed to be."

- "You marked the minutes. But did you

   Use them wisely? To be still? To cherish?

   To be graceful? To lift & be lifted?"

- "Remember this always:

 There is a reason God limits man's days"

- "But man who can take

   Anything will find most things unsatisfying.

  And a man without memories is just a shell."

- "Time flies with you"

   But sometimes, we forget what we have."

   It crashes in the chest like a broken plane"

- "Knowing something and understanding it

   were not the same thing."

- "Living without love was something he knew

   More than any soul on earth"

- "When does it stop hurting?

   Sometimes never..."

- "Time is not something you give back. The very

    next moment may be an answer to your prayer.

   To deny that is to deny the most important part

   Of the future. What's that? HOPE"

   More in each day. The simple joy of living 

   Between sunrises were gone."

    Unless, of course, it comes to a stop. Then, when

   It starts, it sounds like an orchestra."

- Dor: "I tried to stop your suffering"

  Alli: "We cannot stop what heaven chooses"

- "TIME FLIES"
