- A couple of weeks ago, I'm wandering through these halls, praying for somebody to die. And now here I am, same halls, praying for somebody to be born. Is it just me, or did life suddenly broaden this year?

Quotes[]
❝
- I want you to know something. Sex doesn't necessarily bring people closer together. It's just a magnifying glass. I mean, if there's a problem, it gets bigger. And if there's closeness...you get closer. As far as you and Gretchen are concerned, I mean...you guys are probably a lot closer than a lot of people who are having sex
- —Joey to Dawson
❝
- One night, you're standing in a dark room, exhausted, reaching for diapers and answers on a shelf you can't see, and this little person calls out to you. "Daddy." That's when you get it. You feel your heart expand in a way you never knew was possible, and you love this little person so much...that you actually ache. I can't explain it any better
