Quote

Three things see no end- A flower blighted ere it bloomed, A message that was wasted, And a journey that was doomed.

The great love is gone. There are still little loves - friend to friend, brother to sister, student to teacher. Will you deny yourself comfort at the hearthfire of a cottage because you may no longer sit by the fireplace of a palace?

Honor was never taking the easy way when it was also the wrong one. Never telling a falsehood unless the truth was painful and unnecessary, or a lie was necessary to save others. Never manipulating the truth to serve only yourself. Protecting the weak and helpless standing fast even when fear made you weak. Keeping your word.

In a dog's world, only three states existed: now, in a while, and forever. If someone left, he was gone forever, and when he returned they rejoiced as much as if he were back from the dead precisely because he'd been gone forever.

I think I know why you never married, Sarah. Well, and I reckoned if I wanted something that'd come and go as he pleased, take me for granted, and ignore me when he chose, I'd get a cat. And if I wanted something I'd always have to be picking up after, getting into trouble, but slavishly devoted, I'd get a dog.
