“Sometimes, grief seizes me in a violent grip, and when it does, I almost double over in pain. I pause, breathe, try to release the image of how my life was meant to be. It doesn't matter what was destines; it only matters what actually happened. That's what I tell myself.”
― Wendy Heard, We'll Never Tell

“Beneath it, I feel a twinge of resentment. Sometimes she makes everything such a production, even when it’s completely unnecessary, engineering situations so she’s always on center stage. What does that make me? Set dressing?”
― Wendy Heard, We'll Never Tell

“There was nothing clever to say, so I said something foolish.”
― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

“I felt like, how did I even get to this point where my entire life is tied up in this one person? If you and I decide to be together and then we break up, I don't just lose you. I lose your dad. I lose my place to go that isn't my empty house. I'll have to hide all our stuff in a box, shut my memories of you away.”
― Wendy Heard, We'll Never Tell
