“It’s a luxury to be the owner of one’s time. I think it’s one of the greatest luxuries human beings can afford themselves.”
― Valérie Perrin, Fresh Water for Flowers

“For in grief nothing "stays put." One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral?

But if a spiral, am I going up or down it?

How often -- will it be for always? -- how often will the vast emptiness astonish me like a complete novelty and make me say, "I never realized my loss till this moment"? The same leg is cut off time after time.”
― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

“Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.”
― William Goldman , The Princess Bride

“Why can't people just sit and read books and be nice to each other?”
― David Baldacci, The Camel Club
