The best Quotes from The Time Traveler’s Wife

I wonder where he is... when he is... if he's in danger. But I married a time traveler. It's complicated.

It's not a superpower. It's what's wrong with me. I can't keep hold of the current moment. I just slide off. I fall back in time.

I wouldn't change one second of our life together.

That's what I love you for: your inability to perceive all my hideous flaws.

"But don't you think," I persist, "that it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?"

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life.
When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I wrote down "happy". They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.

That's the best revenge of all: happiness. Nothing drives people crazier than seeing someone have a good f*cking life.

The happiest people don't worry too much about whether life is fair ot not, they just get on with it.

Don't wish me happiness - I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor - I will need them all.

How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold.

But time is life itself, and life resides in the human heart.

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.

Calendars and clocks exist to measure time, but that signifies little because we all know that an hour can seem as eternity or pass in a flash, according to how we spend it.

Your cells age at half the rate of a normal human. When you're 40, you'll still have the leucocytes of a teenager.

I will escape for every innocent woman whose life was stolen.
