John Irving

“There are things we can't choose, but we can choose how we love them.”
“You only grow by coming to the end of something and by beginning something else.”
“We are formed by what we desire.”
“Good habits are worth being fanatical about.”
“If you care about something, you have to protect it.”
“Sorrow floats.”
“Your memory is a monster; it summons with will of its own.”
“Keep passing the open windows.”
