Ruth’s Quotes

“Death isn’t a final ending, Wallace. It is an ending, sure, but only to prepare you for a new beginning.”
― T.J. Klune, Under the Whispering Door

“Death has a beauty to it. We don’t see it because we don’t want to. And that makes sense. Why would we want to focus on something that takes us away from everything we know? How do we even begin to understand that there’s more than what we see?”
― T.J. Klune, Under the Whispering Door

“The first time you share tea, you are a stranger. The second time you share tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share tea, you become family.”

“Hindsight is a powerful thing, Wallace. We don’t always see what’s right in front of us, much less appreciate it. It’s not until we look back that we find what we should have known all along.”
― T.J. Klune, Under the Whispering Door

“Sometimes our fates take turns that we don't notice in the moment they occur, but if you live as long as I have they become clear in hindsight.”
― Isabel Allende, Violeta
