I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.

I really feel like the gift is also the curse. It's always half-and-half. Whatever brings you the most joy will also probably bring you the most pain. Always a price to pay

Trouble is just like love, after all; it comes in unannounced and takes over before you've had a chance to reconsider, or even to think.

I also like the whole idea of fairy tales and folk tales being a woman's domain, considered a lesser domain at the time they were told.

Holding a tear back makes them drain upward, higher and higher, until one day your head just explodes and you're left with a stub of a neck and nothing more.

Ironically, now that my children are older and gone quite a bit, I find it harder to work when they're not around. Too much free time!

Women know things that men will never know. We keep the best secrets. We tell the best stories.
