Cecelia Ahern, P.S. I Love You
“Love:
a single word, a wispy thing, a word no bigger or longer than an edge. That's
what it is: an edge; a razor. It draws up through the center of your life,
cutting everything in two. Before and after. The rest of the world falls away
on either side.”

“A
fight is going on inside me," said an old man to his son. "It is a
terrible fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow,
regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies,
false pride, superiority, and ego. The other wolf is good. he is joy, peace,
love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity,
truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you."
The
son thought about it for a minute and then asked, "Which wolf will
win?"
The
old man replied simply, "The one you feed.”

“Ladies
and gentlemen of the class of '97:
Wear
sunscreen.
If I
could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The
long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the
rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy
the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the
power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years,
you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now
how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are
not as fat as you imagine.
Don't
worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as
trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in
your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind
that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.”

After all they'd been through over the last year, he knew that the most
important thing was that they were together. She loved him for saying that.”
