The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Quotes from the Book
Perhaps it is enough to remember at story's end the miracle that it was simply to have lived.
If life's an exercise in making memories...no one really goes away as long as they are remembered.
It’s what happens when things die. They go away, but you don’t realize all the parts of you that they were holding up until after.
Each heartbeat, every breath-- is a rejection of death.
Who is to say exactly how things end? If there is one thing we have learned, it is that life's endings are bereft of answers.
And in the days that follow, the possibilities of what could've been begin to fall away. Leaving you with less, each time-- more precious, to be savored. Like a cigarette. The point of life, my friend, is to be smoked.
