“But I’m not afraid anymore because heaven and hell are not destinations. They are decisions.”
― Stephen Chbosky, Imaginary Friend

“She thought she was getting a sympathetic ear. What she was actually doing was giving the next bastard a trail of bread crumbs as to how much shit she was willing to put up with for what grief convinced her was love.”
― Stephen Chbosky, Imaginary Friend

“She'd given love a chance; now she wanted simply to fill the empty spaces. Ease the loneliness while walling off her heart.”
― Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing

“She whispered a verse by Amanda Hamilton:

You came again,
blinding my eyes
like the shimmer of sun upon the sea.
Just as I feel free
the moon casts your face upon the sill.
Each time I forget you
your eyes haunt my heart and it falls still.
And so farewell
until the next time you come,
until at last I do not see you.”
― Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing
