There are going to be moments of deep, deep doubts, and you have to have faith that your initial idea was good and just muddle through.
Ann Brashares
She had willed her heart to stay small and contained, but it wouldn’t be. Oh, well.
Ann Brashares
One must have a good memory to keep the promises one has made.
