Love someone else? Joe repeated. I'm such a screwup… You love someone? It's wrong, that's all. I had no business… Paul. You love someone? Yeah. I was a real horseshit best friend for years. Vanni. I just couldn't help it. I didn't want it to be that way, but- Joe drank a big gulp. He was prepared to help Paul through just about anything, but he never saw this coming. And why hadn't he? Probably because he'd have done for Paul what Paul did for Matt-stay with the widow through everything. Whoa, he finally said. Oh, shit. Oh, shit, Paul echoed. Vanni?

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
by Mitch Albom
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.

My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?

But love takes many forms, and it is not the same for any man and woman. What people find then is a certain love.
