I can't really work on more than one thing at a time

Books may well be the only true magic.

You have to choose the voice you are going to trust. You can't listen to everyone.

I was beginning to understand.My grandmother's love was cold because she was afraid of things;that was why everything had to be perfect.

Feel lucky for what you have when you have it. Isn't that the point? Happily ever after doesn't mean happy forever. The ever after, what precisely was that? Your dreams, your life, your death, your everything. Was it the blank space that went on without us? The forever after we were gone?

We stood and watched as God abandoned us, and then we did the best we could.

Sometimes the right thing feels all wrong until it is over and done with.
