Don't ask me any questions right now. I'm grumpy and I'll probablly make fun of you. -Effie Kaligaris
Ann BrasharesYou could feel things or you could find a way to shut down. But once you were feeling things, you couldn’t decide exactly what to feel. That was the trouble with letting them in at all. They made a mess of the place.
Ann BrasharesI love that blurry place where life’s transitions are made without you even knowing it.
Ann BrasharesLove who you love while you have them. That's all you can do. Let them go when you must. If you know how to love, you'll never run out.
Ann BrasharesHonesty was a tough customer... Once you started allowing yourself some honesty, it couldn't easily be contained or limited to one part of your life. It was like poison ivy or a bossy houseguest. Once it was there, you couldn't tell it what to do. You had to really fight to keep it from taking over.
