Quote context

[...]

- Well, I hadn't thought of it before like that, sir.

- No, nor had I.

- I suppose some people would say, We love to know we're not alone. Would you?

- Well, if you mean falling in love, well, I haven't really. I mean, I probably know more about love from books than from personal experience.

- Go on. I'm listening.

- Well, I don't think any of us want to be alone.

- Why love if losing hurts so much?

- I have no answers anymore, only the life I've lived.

- Twice in that life, I've been given the choice. As a boy, and as a man. The boy chose safety. The man chooses suffering.

- The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.

And does God want us to suffer? What if the answer to that question is yes? 'Cause I'm not sure that God particularly wants us to be happy. I think he wants us to be able to love and be loved. He wants us to grow up.
I love you, Joy. I love you so much. You've made me so happy. I didn't know I could be so happy.
Well, just because something hurts, it doesn't make it more true or more significant. -No, I guess not.
Why? See, if you love someone, you don't want them to suffer. You can't bear it. You want to take their suffering onto yourself. Even I feel like that. Why doesn't God?
The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
