If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.
Hebrews - 13, 14
The one who lives in the memories of his loved ones can't be dead; dead is only who's forgotten.
Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
John - 16, 22
The ones that love us never really leave us. And you can always find them in here.
Those that we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.
There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.
I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can't stop them. They leave me and I love them more.
We're meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?
Mrs. Maple in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
