“Zade is quiet for a beat. “Happiness is fleeting. All that matters is that they’re living their life the way they want to.” “You believe that?” I ask, facing him. “That happiness is fleeting?” He shrugs, tossing the last bite of his cone into his mouth, and chews as he contemplates something. “Absolutely,” he says finally. “It’s not something solid you can hold on to. It’s vapor in the wind, and all you can do is inhale it when it’s near and hope it comes around again when it blows away.”
― H.D. Carlton, Hunting Adeline

“Each of our lives is anchored to a single moment, whether disturbing or traumatic or euphoric or inscrutable, from which we never move on, and that the age at which this moment occurs is our Eternal Age”
― Alexis Schaitkin, Saint X

“Do people have a choice in the direction their lives will go? We cannot choose where and when we are born, by whom or how we are first loved, or with whom we will fall in love – at least, I do not believe so. And we cannot choose who is taken from us, or the way in which they are taken.”
― Cath Crowley, Words in Deep Blue

“If we all gave up on the things we love when it gets hard, it’d be a terrible world.”
― Cath Crowley, Words in Deep Blue
