“It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what you say. It's not how you look in that body, but the things you do with it. You are beautiful.”

“Do you want me to sing to you? I'll sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away.”

“It was a miracle — more than a miracle — when I found you, Melanie. Right now, if I was given the choice between having the world back and having you, I wouldn't be able to give you up. Not to save five billion lives.”

“If I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it.”

“Once you cared about a person, it was impossible to be logical about them anymore.”

“When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.”
