“I understand that part, not wanting the world to see your sadness. You think you’re the only one, singled out by fate to suffer. You’re not, of course, but it feels that way. The rest of the world is moving forward, living their lives and dreaming their dreams, while you’re frozen, forever suspended in that terrible moment when your world stopped turning and the ground suddenly fell away. You exist in a void, where everything’s empty and endlessly dark, until little by little the light becomes unbearable.”
― Barbara Davis, The Keeper of Happy Endings

“We forget all sorts of things that no one helps us remember,”
― Laura Dave, The Last Thing He Told Me

“Alas, we women seldom get the life we would choose for ourselves. Instead, our lot is chosen for us, by those who claim to know best, and before we know it, we’ve been shaped into someone we don’t recognize, remade in someone else’s image.”
― Barbara Davis, The Keeper of Happy Endings

“Two cures for love

1. Don't see him. Don't phone or write a letter.
2. The easy way: Get to know him better.”
― Wendy Cope, The Poetry Pharmacy: Tried-and-True Prescriptions for the Mind, Heart and Soul
