Fear was the biggest bullshitter, he’d said. But sometimes, too, fear told the truth.

I mean it’s purposeful, even if we don’t realize it. The desire to put things in our path, to figure out how to finally leave the behind….

They never told you that stranger might be someone you knew.

You take care of the people you love, but it’s true, too, that you take care of the things you own.

...wanting things for the wrong reasons can turn anyone's life into a marshmallow on a stick over a hot fire: impossibly messy and eventually consumed, one way or another.

It made me wonder how many times we forgive just because we don't want to lose someone, even if they don't deserve our forgiveness.

So I put up with bad behavior in the name of loving the way I thought you were supposed to love.
