"It wasn't cleverness or courage or any kind
of competence or savvy that saved us, it was nothing more than love, our love
for each other, for our families, for the lives we wanted so desperately to
live. Our suffering in the Andes had swept away everything trivial and
unimportant. Each of us realized, with a clarity that is hard to describe, that
the only crucial thing in life is the chance to love and be loved."
"each [stride] brought me closer to my
father... each step I took was a step stolen back from death."
“Death has an opposite, but the opposite is not
mere living. It is not courage or faith or human will. The opposite of death is
love. How had I missed that? How does anyone miss that? Love is our only
weapon. Only love can turn mere life into a miracle, and draw precious meaning
from suffering and fear”
