For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

A friend is dearer than the light of heaven, for it would be better for us that the sun were exhausted than that we should be without friends.

Olivia WilliamsYou can never read your own book with the innocent anticipation that comes with that first delicious page of a new book, because you wrote the thing. You've been backstage.

This friend should not be someone with whom you have a ยญromantic relationship, unless you want to break up.

She said with a smile, 'I just figured God had something better in store for me.'
