“You can't have too much dog in a book.”

“When someone is grieving, the best thing you can do is let them heal on their own, and show them that you'll be there for them.”
― Kay O'Neill, The Tea Dragon Tapestry

“Memories don't just live inside you, Minette. They live in all the people and objects you share your life with.”
― Katie O'Neill, The Tea Dragon Society

“There are not enough faces. Your own gapes back
at you on someone else, but paler, then the moment
when you see the next one and forget yourself.

It must be dreams that makes us different, must be
private cells inside a common skull.
One has the other's look and has another memory.

Despair stares out from tube-trains at itself
running on the platform for the closing door.
Everyone you meet is telling wordless barefaced truths.

Sometimes the crowd yields one you put a name to,
snapping fiction into fact. Mostly your lover passes in the rain and does not know you when you speak.

- I Remember Me”
― Carol Ann Duffy, Selected Poems
