“His head was always in the clouds. 'I'm writing a novel,' he told her. As if that was something to crow about. As if there weren't enough novels in the world already.”

“Life really hasn't been very fair to you, Pete. I'm sorry about that."
"Mom says life isn't fair, and that's all there is to it."
"Your mom says that to justify the fact that *she* isn't being fair to *you*," Mrs. Grace said calmly. "which is mostly what people mean when they say life isn't fair. It isn't, which is why people should endeavour to be *more* fair to one another, not less.”

“There is no true, clean, definitive way to separate the art from the artist. Art fully separated from the artist ceases, in a fundamental way, to be art at all. The artist gives the art meaning.”

“Dear Rick,
I've never thought math was a miracle. The things we study simply are. They were the rules of the universe before we were here to understand them. They operate the world behind the curtain, whether we look behind it or not. The rules are already there. Music is a miracle. It adds something to the world that didn't have to be here. Language is a miracle. Every sentence ever spoken and every song ever sung is a new invention. Not only do they add something new to the world, they transmit thoughts and emotions that would otherwise be locked within one person. I hear a song and feel something a composer felt 200 years ago. I read your letter and hear your voice saying the words. I feel you in the room with me. That's the miracle.”
