When you miss what you love the most, you start to value other things much more.

How it was, when you lost things, it was like you only knew for the first time that you'd ever had them. (...) You didn't wake up every morning and say yes and yes to every little thing. But little things were what it was all made of. Or just somebody to see, there, when you woke up.

The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.

There are things in your past, preserved in memory almost by chance, that only later on, because of the course your own life takes, come to seem proleptic, or significant, or fascinating, when other things don’t.

The most wonderful, beautiful things in life are the simple things which we have all forgotten.

What silly little things sometimes take on meaning in life, suddenly, out of nowhere. And you know they're little nothings, and you laugh at them, but all the same, you go on feeling them, you can't stop...

There are some things one remembers even though they may never have happened.

Some things you don't need until they leave you, they're the things that you miss

Some speak of things we know, as new; And you, of things unknown as things forgot.

Wonderfullest things are ever the unmentionable; deep memories yield no epitaphs

Its not until you lose everything that you can truly apreciate everything

I say the very things that make the greatest Stir
An' the most interestin' things, are things that did n't occur.

Many things we misread as meaningful are quite ordinary coincidences. For example, it’s not unlikely that occasionally someone will phone you after you’ve been thinking about them. But we give these things value to make sense of our lives.

Minor things can become moments of great revelation when encountered for the very first time.
