“Every fall I imagine once again that something wonderful will happen at a party. This is like imagining that the telephone book will prove to be a wonderful novel.”

“Now that the real and the imagined had collided, he wondered if she, like he, longed for the past, for the normal. He wondered if normalcy was something, like vision or silence, you didn't realize was precious until you lost it.”

“I wonder wonder why the wonder falls
I wonder why the wonder falls on me
I wonder wonder why the wonder falls
With everything I touch and hear and see”

“When we accept small wonders, we qualify ourselves to imagine great wonders.”

“What is now proved was once only imagined.”

“In case you're wondering, the underside of a sheep doesn't smell that great. Imagine a winter sweater that's been dragged through the mud and left in the laundry hamper for a week. Something like that.”

“I was in love, and the feeling was even more wonderful than I ever imagined it could be.”

“Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can;
No need for greed or hunger –
A brotherhood of man;
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…”

“I can't imagine a romance novel published today where the hero rapes the heroine and she falls in love with him.”

“This book is so interesting. I always wonder what's going to happen next.”
