“I wanted to tell her that she was the first beautiful thing I had seen in three years. That the sight of her yawning to the back of her hand was enought to drive the breath from me. How I sometimes lost the sense of her words in the sweet fluting of her voice. I wanted to say that if she were with me then somehow nothing could ever be wrong for me again.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

“Likewise, I would never be so rude as to not interrupt a friend. How else would she know I was listening?”
― Lisa Scottoline, Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog: The Amazing Adventures of an Ordinary Woman

“Losing Abby wasn't a story I remembered from early childhood--it was in my face, debilitating me like a sickness, robbing me of my senses and physically, excruciatingly painful. My mother's words echoed in my ear. Abby was the girl I had to fight for, and I went down fighting. None of it was ever going to be enough.”
― Jamie McGuire, Walking Disaster

“Yesterday. Was there a more merciless word?”
― Cornelia Funke, The Golden Yarn
