“We only had this one life. We could wish for the past all day long. We could look at old pictures and tell ourselves the same old stories but they're just that—stories. Memories. They happened. And maybe they were wonderful and amazing, and maybe they changed our lives in ways we'd never be changed again, but they no longer existed. By the time we stopped to reflect on one moment, it was gone, and another was instantly upon us, also destined to pass.”
― Sarah Ockler, The Book of Broken Hearts

“None of us ever know all the possible courses our lives could have, and maybe should have taken.”
― Liane Moriarty, The Husband's Secret

“Family tragedies had a way of smashing everything apart and then gluing it all back together. The problem was no one ever knew how long the glue would hold.”
― Sarah Ockler, The Book of Broken Hearts

“You don't have to let that one thing be the thing that defines you.”
― Jojo Moyes, After You
