“I think that when you care enough for someone, you reach a point where it's far more painful not to have him at all than to have him and risk losing him. You realize the risk is worth it. Because happiness, however short-lived, is always worth it.”
― Tricia Levenseller, The Shadows Between Us

“I don’t know which half of my brain is the smart half and which half is all emotional and shit."
"Maybe the smart half is all emotional and shit."
"Yes, I’d been afraid of that.”
― Talia Hibbert, Act Your Age, Eve Brown

“All the time in the world is worth nothing if I don't get to spend it with you.”
― Tricia Levenseller, The Shadows Between Us

“Ma’s pet peeve was how the Western world misunderstood the theory of karma. “I mean it’s the Bhagavad Gita they’re bastardizing. What is all this ‘karma’s a bitch’ nonsense!” Ma loved to say. The entire “what goes around comes around” thing was a backward view of karma. Karma was simply Sanskrit for action, and the theory was that your actions are the only thing under your control, as opposed to the fruits of your actions, which are not. And since actions always bear fruit, you were better off focusing your energy on your own actions, rather than worrying about the results you wanted them to produce.”
