More quotes by Mary E. Pearson

Mary E. Pearson
There are all kinds of friends you make in life... But there's something different about someone who spreads their wings with you.
Mary E. Pearson
Which weakness shall I tell her? “I walk funny,” I say, and she’s satisfied with that. (inside joke)
Mary E. Pearson
Pieces. Isn't that what all of life is anyway? Shards. Bits. Moments. Am I less because I have fewer, or do the few I have mean more?
Mary E. Pearson
Are the details of our lives who we are, or is it owning those details that makes the difference?

Mary E. Pearson
What I think is all I have left. My mind is the only thing that makes me different from a fancy toaster. What we think does matter-it's all we truly have.
Mary E. Pearson
My timing is off. But I had to get it out. Some things you have to tell, no matter how stupid they may sound. Some things you can't save for later. There might not be a later.
Mary E. Pearson
I thought grandmothers had to like you. It’s a law or something.
Mary E. Pearson
Boredom reigns on all levels. The rain is a welcome change. I have seen the pond swell and the creek surge. I press my palm against the glass, imagining the drops on my skin, imagining where they started out, where they will go, feeling them like a river, rushing, combining, becoming something greater than how they started out.
Mary E. Pearson
Multiple closets for different needs. Overkill.
Mary E. Pearson
When your life has had few events to occupy it, it's amazing how a simple encounter can seem like an entire three-act play.
Mary E. Pearson

Mary E. Pearson
Chance. It weaves through our lives like a golden thread, sometimes knotting, tangling, and breaking along the way. Loose threads are left hanging, but the in and out, the back and forth continues, the weaving goes on. It doesn't stop.
Mary E. Pearson
