In a world of sorrow, love was an act of will. All you needed were the right ingredients.
Alice HoffmanI thought that love was a river, endless and deep. I thought it merely happened, washing over you like water. It was nothing to search for, nothing to force. I didn't understand that even when we can't control our fate, we alone have the last say in matters of the heart. We can give it freely, even in the worst of times, even when it isn't returned.
Alice HoffmanIt was the sort of beauty you feel so deeply it becomes contagious and somehow makes you feel beautiful too.
