Sometimes it just seems that love is not enough, does it?

But a mother-son relationship is not a coequal one, is it? He is lonely with only you just as you are lonely with only him.

It was so much more comfortable to be able to divide people into heroes and villains and expect them to play their allotted part.

There is no happily-ever-after to run to. We have to work for happiness.

The worst thing about loneliness is that it brings one face to face with oneself.

Now I must live with the consequences of the choice I made. And I will not call it the wrong choice. That would be foolish and pointless. That choice led me to everything that has happened since, including this very moment, and the choices I make today or tomorrow or next week will lead me to the next and next present moments in my life. It is all a journey, Miss Jewell. I have come to understand that that is what life is all about-a journey and the courage and energy always to take the next step and the next without judgement about what was right and what was wrong.

The people we love are usually stronger than we give them credit for. It is the nature of love, perhaps, to want to shoulder all the pain rather than see the loved one suffer. But sometimes pain is better than emptiness. I have been so empty Kit. All my life. So full of emptiness. That is strange paradox is nit not - full of emptiness?
