“I thought it was good to test yourself sometimes. It was good to see how much you could take.”
― Carol Rifka Brunt, Tell the Wolves I'm Home

“How it was. How it was that the earth could open up under you and swallow you whole, close above you as if you never were. Like Persephone snatched by the god. The ground opened up and out he came, sweeping her into the black chariot. Then down they plunged, under the ground, into the darkness, and the earth closed over her head, and she was gone, as if she had never been.”
― Janet Fitch, White Oleander

“Born for the blue skies,
We'll survive the rain.
Born for the sunrise,
We'll survive the pain.”
― Switchfoot

“We all have cracks and tears and shattered glass within our souls. Some have more than others. We do not wish to seek one who has none; but we wish to find the one who can say "look at me, look at this." We wish to find the one who sees every bit of broken glass and who will put those pieces into the palms of our hands and say "please keep them." And we wish to be that kind of person, too. This is how it should be.”
