You both passed out,” percy said. “i don’t know why, but ella told me not to worry about it. she said you were…sharing?” “sharing,” ella agreed. she crouched in the stern, preening her wing feathers with her teeth, which didn’t look like a very effective form of personal hygiene. she spit out some red fluff. “sharing is good. no more blackouts. biggest american blackout, august 14, 2003. hazel shared. no more blackouts.” percy scratched his head. “yeah…we’ve been having conversations like that all night. i still don’t know what she’s talking about.

Say thank you! i want to hear you say it now. out loud. 'thank you.' you're saying thank you because your faith is so strong that you don't doubt that whatever the problem, you'll get through it. you're saying thank you because you know that even in the eye of the storm, god has put a rainbow in the clouds. you're saying thank you because you know there's no problem created that can compare to the creator of all things. say thank you!

A very poor kid came up to me after a talk and said 'i want to go blow up a factory.' i asked how old he was and he said 17. i said 'have you ever had sex?' he said 'no.' i said 'just remember if you get caught you aren't going to have sex for twenty years at least.' that's not saying that one person having sex is worth the salmon. i'm not saying it's a reason not to act, i'm saying don't be stupid.

But love, honest love, requires empathy. it is a sharing—of joy, of pain, of laughter, and of tears. honest love makes one’s soul a reflection of the partner’s moods. and as a room seems larger when it is lined with mirrors, so do the joys become amplified. and as the individual items within the mirrored room seem less acute, so does pain diminish and fade, stretched thin by the sharing. that is the beauty of love, whether in passion or friendship. a sharing that multiplies the joys and thins the pains.
Laughter Pain Passion
With any kind of physical test, i don't know what it is, i always seem to get competitive. remember when you were in school and they'd do those hearing tests? and you'd really be listening hard, you know? i wanted to do unbelievable on the hearing test. i wanted them to come over to me after and go, 'we think you may have something close to super-hearing. what you heard was a cotton ball touching a piece of felt. we're sending the results to washington, we'd like you to meet the president.'
