“Love, happiness, joy — all the wonderful things of life are treasured because they do not last. Time may decay, but it also heightens, that most dear to us. When time is defeated, when moments such as those are infinite, they lose all meaning.”
― Derek Alan Siddoway, Windbreak

“Eva laughed. It felt good after the tears and sorrow. The simple act helped her realize that the storm hanging over her heart couldn’t last forever. The winds of life had swept them up and done its best to break them each in turn. But although they were battered and broken, they’d made it out, stronger and harder than before”
― Derek Alan Siddoway, Windswept

“Jack, being young is so hard. You knew that instinctively and that’s why you chose to wait. I’ve seen men and women in their sixties, in wheel chairs or in physical therapy who state flat-out that they would never again wish to be in their teens. Because it’s just too painful. It’s all about learning from mistakes, and that is never a comfortable thing. It’s all trial and error. Sometimes, the error part leaves scars.”
― Heather Killough-Walden, The Shifter King

“Education and assimilation were devastatingly effective at controlling a conquered people.”
