"The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time, we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this good-bye is both a good-bye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come.

When I look at you,I see your beauty and grace and know that they have grown stronger with every life you have lived. And I know I have spent every life before this one searching for you. Not someone like you, but you, for your soul and mine must always come together. And then, for a reason neither of us understands, we've been forced to say good-bye.

I would love to tell you that everything will work out for us, and I promise to do all that I canto make sure it does. But if we never meet again and this is truly good-bye, I know we would see each other again in another life. We will find each other again, and maybe the stars will have changed, and we will not only love each other in that time, but for all the times we've had before."pg 121-122

"You are the answer to every prayer I've offered. You are a song, a dream, a whisper,and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have. I love you,Allie, more than you could ever imagine. I always have and I always will." pg 127

"In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you, and take your rief and make it my own. when you cry, I cry, and when you hurt, I hurt. And together we will try to hold back the floods of tears and despair and make it through the potholed streets of life." pg 171
