“Living without expectations is hard but, when you can do it, good. Living without hope is harder, and that is bad. You have got to have hope, and you mustn’t shirk it. Love, after all, 'hopeth all things.' But maybe you must learn, and it is hard learning, not to hope out loud, especially for other people. You must not let your hope turn into expectation.”
― Wendell Berry, Hannah Coulter

“Perhaps love was not something easily forgotten, even when it had burned down to ashes.”
― Rebecca Ross, Dreams Lie Beneath

“It will make you colder. But even the deepest of ice eventually gives way to fire, Clementine.”
― Rebecca Ross, Dreams Lie Beneath

“Sometimes things must break before they can be made whole again, so that they can be forged into something stronger.”
― Rebecca Ross, Dreams Lie Beneath
