My god, good book. Just some good quotes?:

"But all endsings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time"

"There are five people you meet in heaven" the Blue Man suddenly said. "Each of us was in your life for a reason. You may not have known the reason at the time, and that is what heaven is for. For understanding your life on earth."

The blue man smiled "No, edward. You are here so I can teach you something, All the people you meet here have one thing to teach you."
Eddie was skeptical. His fists stayed clenched
"What?" he said

"That there are no random acts. That we are all conected. That you can no more seperate one life from another, than you can seperate a breeze from the wind"

"Strangers" The blue man said "are just family you have yet to come to know."

"No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone."

"All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completley into jagged little pieces, beyond repair."

"Learn this from me. Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves."

"What happened?" she asked. "During the war?" He had never quite told her. It was all understood. Soldiers, in his day, did what they had to do and didn't speak of it once they came home. He thought about the men he'd killed. He thought about the guards. He thought about the blood on his hands. He wondered if he'd ever be forgiven. "I lost myself," he said. "No," his wife said. "Yes," he whispered, and she said nothing else.

"There was a reason to it all," she said.
"What reason?" he said. "How could there be a reason? You died. You were forty-seven. You were the best person any of us knew, and you died and you lost everything. And I lost everything. I lost the only woman I ever loved."
She took his hands. "No, you didn't. I was right here. And you loved me anyway. Lost love is still love eddie. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those sences weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it."
"Life has to end" she said "Love dosen't"

"The secret of heaven: Each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one."
