• Consent in virtue knit your hearts so fast,
  That still the knot, in spite of death, does last;
  For as your tears, and sorrow-wounded soul,
  Prove well that on your part this bond is whole,
  So all we know of what they do above,
  Is that they happy are, and that they love.
  Let dark oblivion, and the hollow grave,
  Content themselves our frailer thoughts to have;
  Well-chosen love is never taught to die,
  But with our nobler part invades the sky.

  Edmund Waller

• I know not when the day shall be,
  I know not when our eyes may meet;
  What welcome you may give to me,
  Or will your words be sad or sweet,
  It may not be 'till years have passed,
  'Till eyes are dim and tresses gray;
  The world is wide, but, love, at last,
  Our hands, our hearts, must meet some day.

• I write about this in The Last Temple, the early church knew that Christ has risen from the dead, and so they didn't live their lives with earthly vanities, but they lived their lives for eternal verities. And I think that if we might catch that enthusiasm and the reality of resurrection, we would live by a completely different standard as well.

• Holly smiled weakly. Gerry would know exactly how she was feeling, he would know exactly what to say and he would know exactly what to do. He would give her one of his famous hugs and all her problems would melt away. She grabbed a pillow from her bed and hugged it tight. She couldn't remember the last time she hugged someone, really hugged someone. And the depressing thing was that she couldn't imagine ever embracing anyone the same way again.
