There's a lot that is awful. That's the struggle of getting old. To make sure you don't let what's hard...obscure the beauty.
Sara Zarr
And he left. I watched him walk out – he didn’t say good-bye, he didn’t even look back. It scared me, how easy it was for him to do that.

The kind of life I want is to be a person who would get a personal note every day.

I'm still going to love you, always. And in the rock-paper-scissors of life, love is rock. fear, anger, everthing else...no contest.

In a way, “failure” is just another word for “the journey,” for not being there yet but on the way. It’s the road we walk on to get wherever it is we’re trying to go.

I do have a little bit more confidence in - or at least familiarity with - my process. For example, when it feels like it's going badly or that I'm lost, I know I'll eventually find my way because I've been through it before. But writing itself is still hard.

This was a memory I wanted to keep, whole, and recall again and again. When I was fifty years old I wanted to remember this moment on the porch, holding hands with Cameron while he shared himself with me. I didn’t want it to be something on the fringes of my memory like so many other things about Cameron and myself.

It's hard to say when my interest in writing began, or how. My mother read to my sister and me every night, and we always loved playing make-believe games. I had a well-primed imagination. I didn't start thinking about writing as a serious pursuit, a career I could have, until after college.

. . .There are certain people who come into your life, and leave a mark. . . Their place in your heart is tender a bruise of longing, a pulse of unfinished business. Just hearing their names pushes and pulls at you in a hundred ways, and when you try to define those hundred ways, describe them even to yourself, words are useless.

Everyone has an identity crisis when they are 16 or 17 years old.
Sara Zarr
Because love, love is never finished. It circles and circles, the memories out of order and not always complete.
Sara Zarr
Life needed a fast forward button. Because there were days you just don't want to live through, not again, but they kept coming around and you were powerless to stop time or speed it up or do anything to keep from having to face it.
Sara Zarr
The one thing that could never die or be buried was my loyalty to Cameron for everything he’d done for me and what we’d been through together, even if that loyalty was a ghost.
Sara Zarr
I looked at my hand resting on the shelf of the prop cabinet, thinking of the scars that were there whether anyone could see them or not.
Sara Zarr
I wonder how you're supposed to know the exact moment when there's no more hope.
Sara Zarr
What brings two people together anyway?
Sara Zarr
No one measures a life in weeks and days. You measure life in years and by the things that happen to you.
Sara Zarr
I'm always in a place that is sincere but conflicted about different things that come with being a Christian and being an active, churchgoing Christian.
Sara Zarr
I don't like to do too much psychological research because it might turn a character into a patchwork.
