“Lies between people who love each other are like cancer.”
― V.C. Andrews, Beneath the Attic

“then suddenly, one day, yes becomes maybe, and maybe becomes no. Black is also gray at times, and white might really be black beneath. Smiles are not always true. Sometimes they are empty, false. The lights are on in the houses you pass, but the people inside are cloaked in darkness. Nothing you hear, nothing you see, is necessarily true. Getting older means learning how to leave with doubt and how to get home again.”

“When you don’t let go of the dead, you turn them into ghosts,”
― V.C. Andrews, Beneath the Attic

“We hold on to things we were given and things we shared with loved ones because we don’t want to die.” You die a little more with everything you leave behind, discard, and destroy.”
