I loved fairy tales when I was a kid. Grimm. The grimmer the better. I loved gruesome gothic tales and, in that respect, I liked Bible stories, because to me they were very gothic.

And when I say that is certainly true, that our marriage is over. I know what else she will say: "Then you must save it." And even though I know it's hopeless- there's absolutely nothing left to save-I'm afraid if I tell her that, she'll still persuade me to try.

Too many good things all seem the same after a while.

But she never looked back with regret. There were so many ways for things to get better. -Jing-mei

They know where happiness lies, not in a cave or a country, but in love and the freedom to give and take what has been there all along.

I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.

I began to look at all events and all things as relevant, an opportunity to take or avoid.
