“My daddy says that when you do somethin' to distract you from your worstest fears, it's like whistlin' past the graveyard. You know, making a racket to keep the scaredness and the ghosts away. He says that's how we get by sometimes. But it's not weak, like hidin'...it's strong. It means you're able to go on.”
― Susan Crandall, Whistling Past the Graveyard

“Let your heart lead you, do not be afraid, for there will be much to regret if reason and sense and fear are your only markers”
― Tara Conklin, The House Girl

“After a lifetime of nods, frowns and stoic smiles, they were both fluent in emotional shorthand.”
― Jamie Ford, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

“Bitterness is one of the deadliest emotions we ever feel. You can't look forward when you're bitter, only backward - thinking about what you've lost, stuck in the past, despairing because it's gone. In the end, it devours all hope.”
― Lynn Austin, All Things New
