Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved
Adriana TrigianiThe terrible things that happen to us in life never make any sense when we're in the middle of them, floundering, no end in sight. There is no rope to hang on to, it seems. Mothers can soothe children during those times, through their reassurance. No one worries about you like your mother, and when she is gone, the world seems unsafe, things that happen unwieldy. You cannot turn to her anymore, and it changes your life forever. There is no one on earth who knew you from the day you were born; who knew why you cried, or when you'd had enough food; who knew exactly what to say when you were hurting; and who encouraged you to grow a good heart. When that layer goes, whatever is left of your childgood goes with her. Memories are very different and cannot soothe you the same way her touch did.

It [money] doesn't have anything have anything to do with the magnificence of a person. It doesn't. What matters is what you make. Whether it's a cake for bingo night or a costume for a saint or a wall of water--whatever you pour into this life is what makes you rich.

Relief is a wonderful emotion, highly underrated. In fact, I prefer it to elation or joy. Relief lets the air out of the Tire of Pain.
Adriana TrigianiThe only urgent thing in life is the pursuit of love. You get that one right, and you've solved the mystery.
Adriana TrigianiA handwritten letter carries a lot of risk. It's a one-sided conversation that reveals the truth of the writer. Furthermore, the writer is not there to see the reaction of the person he writes to, so there's a great unknown to the process that requires a leap of faith. The writer has to choose the right words to express his sentences, and then, once he has sealed the envelope, he has to place those thoughts in the hands of someone else, trusting that the feelings will be delivered, and that the recipient will understand the writer's intent. How childish to think that could be easy.

That's when you know for sure somebody loves you. They figure out what you need and they give it to you -- without you asking.
Adriana TrigianiAdoro ver os barcos no rio Hudson, mas é muito diferente de estar num que balança e galga as ondas. Admira-me que a viagem seja tão agitada, porque do cais os barcos parecem deslizar sobre a água. Não se passa o mesmo com o amor? Parece tão simples e fácil à distância – mas quando estamos nele, é uma experiência diferente. Sentimos cada solavanco e perguntamos que onda nos irá derrubar, se iremos sobreviver ou afogar-nos na água traiçoeira, se nos safaremos ou se nos iremos virar?
Adriana TrigianiAprendi que viajar ainda é a melhor forma de alterar a vida, mudar as ideias e abraçar a inspiração, mas devemos estar de olhos bem abertos e ansiosos por agarrá-la, ou é um desperdício.

The good things that happen to us were meant to happen, and the bad things that happen are lessons meant to teach us to be better.
