“Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.”

“And for just a fleeting moment, a tiny wisp of time that hung in the air like fireflies
in summer skies, she wondered if she was in love with him again.”

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if I can let them be… When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner"… I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”

“Standing, with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet,
Womanhood and childhood fleet!”

“Would you complain because a beautiful sunset doesn't have a future or a shooting star a payoff? And why should romance 'lead anywhere'? Passion isn't a path through the woods. Passionthe woods.”

“Just because you're beautiful and perfect, it's made you conceited.”

“A beautiful sunset that was mistaken for a dawn.”

“Just as I need never wonder what it is like to die, so I need never wonder what it is like to kill, Ziller, because I have done it, and it is a wasteful, graceless, worthless and hateful thing to have to do.”

“But I loved that house, and I hated to say good-bye. Because, it was more than just a house. It was every summer, every boat ride, every sunset. It was Susannah.”

“Just because something is beautiful doesn´t mean it´s good.”
