“Maybe the definition of home is the place where you are never forgiven. So you may always belong there, bound by guilt. And maybe the cost of belonging is worth it.”
― Gregory Maguire

“Without suffering, there'd be no compassion.”
― Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to Remember

“The body apologizes to the soul for its errors, and the soul asks forgiveness for squatting in the body without invitation.”

“You could say that Elphaba brought us together,' said Boq softly. 'I'm closer to her and so I'm closer to you.'

Galinda seemed to give up. She leaned her head back on the velvet cushions of the swing and said, 'Boq, you know despite myself I think you're a little sweet. You're a little sweet and you're a little charming and you're a little maddening and you're a little habit-forming.'

Boq held his breath.

He kissed her, he kissed her, he kissed her, little by little by little.”
