“What do the books say?” “What’s in your heart. The things that your wife made you feel—the things she still makes you feel, even after all these years. You pretend to be angry and bored with life, but you’re as full of wonder and joy as the rest of us. And don’t you dare try to deny it, because I’ll drag every book from your house into this hospital room to prove it. You love this world, and you love the people in it. I know you do.”
