John Irving quotes
If you care about something you have to protect it - If you're lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.
What is hardest to accept about the passage of time is that the people who once mattered the most to us wind up in parentheses.
Your memory is a monster; you forget-it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you-and summons them to your recall with will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!
