Being human means losing everything we love best in the world, she murmured as she released me. But would you ask to be anything else?
Alice Hoffman
Image
Some things, however, are true no matter how hard you might try to block them out, and a lie is always a lie, no matter how prettily told. Some doors, once they're opened, can never be closed again, just as some trust, once it's been lost, can never be won back.

That was the way illness appeared in a house, in the corners, in between floorboards, on the hooks in the closet, along with the sweaters and coats.

Books may well be the only true magic.

This day is going to be awful. It's the sort of day you wouldn't mind losing completely, even if it meant your life would be twenty-four hours shorter.

Image
I think growing up is difficult and it's a process that I'm always interested in, with kids and adults, they are often on two different universes.

The sky is already purple the first few stars have appeared, suddenly, as if someone had thrown a handful of silver across the edge of the world.

You can never tell about a person by guessing...that's why language was invented. Otherwise, we'd all be like dogs, sniffing each other to find out where we stood.
