When she is happy, she can't stop talking, when she is sad she doesn't say a word.

Please don't judge me too much until you are older and know more things. (Spoken from mother to daughter)

Sometimes you need to make a mess. -Loretta, the Rollinses' hosekeeper

you remember what is lost, and you forget what's right in front of you.

There were those emotions down there, and though she couldn't quite feel them, they were strong and she feared them. It was like watching a thunderhead from high up in a plane, and though you weren't under it, you knew how it would feel if you were. You knew you'd have to land eventually.

It’s natural to overlook and even sacrifice the things that belong to us most easily most gracefully. So here’s me asking you to please not make that mistake.

I'm dying with you before I'm living without you.
