Quotes by Gina Linko (?)

“Once you are no longer afraid, once you are no longer prisoner to the what-ifs and the if-onlys, there's a pocket of calm in the middle of the craziness. As if you can see things as they really are instead of just how you wish them to be, or how they could be, if this place - this life - wasn't so messed up, so contrary.”
― Gina Linko, Flutter

“I think some things – great things, awesome things- only come around once in a long while, and you gotta snatch 'em up. Hold them close. 'Cause you won't get anything quite that rare and special again anytime soon.”
