that goes to his head.
If you talk to him in his language,
that goes to his heart.

one's sense of inherent worth.

We tend to look up to people

Well, it seems to me that the best relationships -
the ones that last -
are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship.

Like a switch has been flicked somewhere.
And the person who was just a friend is...
suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.

See beauty in those unexpected places.
(she asked herself how people could let Bach be background noise.)

in what seems like just another ordinary day.
(her friend is scheduled for cancer surgery
and suddenly everything around her seems so very precious.)
