“There is one friend in the life of each of us who seems not a separate person, however dear and beloved, but an expansion, an interpretation, of one's self, the very meaning of one's soul.”
― Edith Wharton

“I wake with a jolt that sends a shock of pain through my ankle. Crying out, I look around me. Floral wallpaper. Am I at home? Who's that man in the chair by the door, reading .... "Twilight?" Leon blinks at me, putting the book down in his lap. 'You went from unconscious to judgemental very quickly there.”
― Beth O'Leary, The Flatshare

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“This flatshare. I wish I never done it. Wish I'd never opened up my life like that and let someone else walk in and fill it up. I was doing fine - safe, managing. Now my flat's not mine, it's ours, and when she's gone all I will see is the absence of Tiffin and books about bricklayers and that bloody stupid paisley beanbag. It'll be another room full of what's missing. Just what I didn't want.”
― Beth O'Leary, The Flatshare
