We don't know the days that will change our lives. Probably just as well.
When I start a story, I don't know where it's going.
Even people capable of living in the past don't really know what the future holds.
Any parting could be forever, and we don't know.
What you don’t know, you can’t tell. Or made to tell.
There’s always someone who knows something.
You see something, then it clicks with something else, and it will make a story. But you never know when it's going to happen.
Do you know how cruel your God can be, David. How fantastically cruel?...Sometimes he makes us live.

The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little.
The mind can calculate, but the spirit yearns, and the heart wants what the heart wants.
