What's on your mind, son? Paul scooted forward a bit. Well, it's no secret I'm in love with your daughter. I want to marry Vanni. Do I have your blessing? Your permission? Walt shook his head and chuckled. Haggerty, you sneak down the hall after I'm in bed every night-you'd damn sure better marry her. In fact, it might make sense for you to put the baby in that bedroom you're not using-save a trip or two, let the child have some space… Paul felt a stain creep to his cheeks and thought, I'm over thirty-five-how the hell does this man make me blush?

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.

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.
