He had known in times of the greatest misery or danger that his dreams of home, in which all things seemed beautiful, were in essence his longing for the woman for whom he had been made. That was how, as a soldier, he had seen it, and it was how he had come through (Mark Helprin Quotes)
I wanted the music to be full, to surround us, to lift us like the swell, so I rented a bloody orchestra. You only live once (Mark Helprin Quotes)
And then I went out to the ocean. Do you know what it was like? The waves broke, and each time they did, as they slapped against the sand, I could feel it all through my body. And each time they broke, and each time they thudded down, they said, you have only one life, you have only one life (Mark Helprin Quotes)
In daily life language is important, if not in itself, then as a symptom (Mark Helprin Quotes)

The treasures of the earth were movement, courage, laughter and love (Mark Helprin Quotes)
The spark of life is not gain. Nor is it luxury. The spark of life is movement. Color. Love. And furthermore... if you really want to enjoy life, you must work quietly and humbly to realize your delusions of grandeur (Mark Helprin Quotes)
Well timed silence is the most commanding expression (Mark Helprin Quotes)
And if you were a spirit, and time did not bind you, and patience and love were all you knew, then there you would wait for someone to return, and the story to unfold (Mark Helprin Quotes)
Truth is no rounder than a horse’s eye (Mark Helprin Quotes)
... to be paid for one’s joy is to steal (Mark Helprin Quotes)
A good river is nature’s life work in song (Mark Helprin Quotes)
When faced with something I fear, I tend to eat spaghetti (Mark Helprin Quotes)
If it weren’t for music, I would think that love is mortal (Mark Helprin Quotes)
I have been fighting over commas all my life (Mark Helprin Quotes)
Those events which have passed, and which are the foundations of our lives, must be somewhere, he thought. They must be recapturable, even if only in a perfect world. How just it would be if for our final reward we were to be made the masters of time, and if those we love could come alive again not just in memory, but in truth (Mark Helprin Quotes)
A horse is a beautiful animal, but it is perhaps most remarkable because it moves as if it always hears music (Mark Helprin Quotes)
All rivers run full to the sea; those who are apart are brought together; the lost ones are redeemed; the dead come back to life; the perfectly blue days that have begun and ended in golden dimness continue, immobile and accessible; and, when all is perceived in such a way as to obviate time, justice becomes apparent not as something that will be, but something that is (Mark Helprin Quotes)
If nothing is random, and everything is predetermined, how can there be free will? The answer to that is simple. Nothing is predetermined; it is determined, or was determined, or will be determined (Mark Helprin Quotes)
Give me a night by the fire, with a book in my hand, not that flickering rectangular son of a bitch that sits screaming in every living room in the land (Mark Helprin Quotes)
Sometimes love is taken away unjustly, but not until the very end do you stop believing and then it is very bitter. It is bitter because somewhere within you the perfect standard still lives, the pure expectation against which failure and betrayal are contrasted like the dark shadows on a moonlit road (Mark Helprin Quotes)
I think it takes some terrible or great event to fuse two people together without inhibition. Without heat or shock, it can't be done. I believe that's why sexual love, which needn't be, is so intensely intertwined with sin (Mark Helprin Quotes)
As long as you live and breath, believe. Believe for those who cannot. Believe even if you stopped believing. Believe for the sake of the dead, for love, to keep your heart beating, believe. Never give up, never despair, let no mystery confound you into the conclusion that mystery cannot be yours (Mark Helprin Quotes)
Whatever I do I've always done not because I want something but to compensate for a loss, to bring about a balance, to create amends, to make things right (Mark Helprin Quotes)
To see the beauty of the world is to put your hands on lines that run uninterrupted through life and through death. Touching them is an act of hope, for perhaps someone on the other side, if there is another side, is touching them, too (Mark Helprin Quotes)
Justice can sleep for years and awaken when it is least expected. A miracle is nothing more than dormant justice from another time arriving to compensate those it has cruelly abandoned. Whoever knows this is willing to suffer, for he knows that nothing is in vain (Mark Helprin Quotes)
As long as you have life and breath, believe. Believe for those who cannot. Believe even if you have stopped believing. Believe for the sake of the dead, for love, to keep your heart beating, believe. Never give up, never despair, let no mystery confound you into the conclusion that mystery cannot be yours (Mark Helprin Quotes)
