Quotes By Author: Robert James Waller

“God or the universe or whatever one chooses to label the great systems of balance and order does not recognize Earth-time. To the universe, four days is no different than four billion light years. I try to keep that in mind.”

“I am the highway and a peregrine and all the sails that ever went to sea”

“And in that moment, everything I knew to be true about myself up until then was gone. I was acting like another woman, yet I was more myself than ever before.”

“It’s clear to me now that I have been moving toward you and you toward me for a long time. Though neither of us was aware of the other before we met, there was a kind of mindless certainty bumming blithely along beneath our ignorance that ensured we would come together.

“In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, and never again, no matter how many lifetimes you live.”
