We stood and watched as God abandoned us, and then we did the best we could.
Alice Hoffman
Image
Feel lucky for what you have when you have it. Isn't that the point? Happily ever after doesn't mean happy forever. The ever after, what precisely was that? Your dreams, your life, your death, your everything. Was it the blank space that went on without us? The forever after we were gone?
Alice Hoffman
Image
I think love is a huge factor in fiction and in real life. Is there a risk? Always. In fiction and in life

The only people out at this hour were ones who couldn't sleep,those haunted by one thing or another:love thwarted, love lost, love thrown away. They were the sort of people who didn't want to be noticed, who wanted to slip through shadows, be alone with their despair.
