Charles Frazier
A lizard in the spring - hear his darling sing. A bird with wings to fly - go back to his darling weep and moan till he dies. A mole in the ground - root a mountain down.
Charles Frazier
Disease is nature's revenge for our destructiveness.

Charles Frazier
I'm ruined beyond repair, is what I fear...And if so, in time we'd both be wretched and bitter. I know people can be mended. Not all, and some more immediately than others. But some can be. I don't see why not you. Why not me?
Charles Frazier
