| An intriguing premise with skilled, beautiful writing. I abandoned it part of the way through because of the strong sensuality that appeared almost out of nowhere... Skimming forward, it continues through the novel, unfortunately. I would have enjoye ...more | |

“Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.”

“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

Thanks for the friend request, Alicia! Enjoyed your biography. My daughter went to a private, Christian school and complained about it each year when her friends left. It was a very small school, so I know what you mean by the good and the bad. We kept telling her she'll appreciate it one day. We're still waiting. :)
