“That real mother, the mother that you get, you’ve got to love her, there’s no choice. She is the mother you needed. She gave you strength, either because she loved you well or because she loved you poorly. She gave you your mission. It’s the dream mother that you have to let go of. The one you pined for, the one you thought your decency promised you. She’s the one you’ve got to bury. She’s a mirage. She’ll only break your heart.”
― Amity Gaige, Heartwood

“You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls live in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.”
― Jean Grainger, If Walls Could Talk: The Dunmara Series - Book 1
