My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult (Part II)

"Water never stops moving. Rain falls, and runs down a mountain into a river. The river finds its way to the ocean. It evaporates like a soul into the clouds. And then, like everything else, it starts all over again." (Anna)

"I realize the we never have children, we receive them. (Sara)

"You don't love someone because they're perfect. You love them in spite of the fact that they're not." (Julia)
"On the other hand, I have Anna, who after 13 years is standing up for herself -even though it may mean losing the sister that she loves."
"When you love someone, you'll do anything you can to keep them with you. Unfortunately, there is also a point when you have to step back and say that it's time to let go."
"Sometimes to get what you wanted the most, you have to do what you want the least."
"It doesn't take a whole long life to realize that what we deserve to have, we rarely get."

"Things don't always seem as they look." (Brian)
"Life isn't as stable as we want it to be."

" 'I don't talk about this with anyone.' -Campbell
'I am not just anyone.' " -Anna

"That everyone gets scared."

" 'They (Phoenix) don't really exist.' -Julia
'..that depends on whether or not there's someone who can see them' -Campbell

"Is it because they are so comfortable, they already know what the other is thinking? Or is it because after a certain point, there is simply nothing left to say?"
