Quotes by K.C. Sivils (?)

“He just looked at me, looked through me with an expression I couldn’t read.”
― K.C. Sivils, Last Train to Nowhere

“life has risk. It is filled with pain. God doesn't promise to spare us pain. Pain shapes us. So you have a choice, my friend. You can feel the pain of broken trust and lost friendship because you first trusted another enough to be their friend. Or you can feel the pain and misery of bitter loneliness because you chose not to have a friend. I prefer to take a chance and have friends, friends I place my trust in. I have lived with the other choice, and I won't live that way again.”
― K.C. Sivils, Last Train to Nowhere
