“The Grum’s Ledger is a tale of regret. In real life, there was no happy ending. Alexander Grum died alone because he was afraid to seize love and risk all the unknowns that go with it. He chose certainty—and it was his ruin. “The only guarantee I could offer him—against all the unknowns, all the obstacles—was that we would face life together.”
― Jon Cohen, Harry's Trees

“There are no guarantees, except that every morning, the sun will rise. No matter what happens, good or bad, each day will be followed by a new day.”
― Jon Cohen, Harry's Trees
