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
Needing and getting don’t seem likely to match up any time soon... What needs doing is mine to do.

From my childhood, I remember a tiny old woman named Mary, made pale and almost translucent by time.

We are not strong enough to stand up against endless grief, And yet pain is the constant drone of life. So if we are to have any happiness at all, it is only in the passing instant.
