But the important word here is probably not the one you are thinking of. It’s trying. Trying and trying again. Never stopping.
“In the end, he doesn't know her by sight, or touch, or sound. Only by taste.
The flavor of her kiss a craving, its quality like coming home.
The best thing he has ever tried. Will ever. Ever could.

“With the impressionists I like to stand very, very close " Gabriel said, stopping his face barely an inch from the canvas. "The colors here are chaotic; it makes no sense. Then as you slowly move"-- he stepped back just a half step, and then another --"you can see the colors come together. No longer chaos, they work together; they become something greater. I think life is like this: in the moment, you can't make sense of it, but later, at the distance, it will all become clear.”

“Cora Zeng does not get angry because anger always melts through her fingers until it is a pool of anguish under her feet. There is not enough oxygen inside Cora to keep anger burning. No matter how hard she tries, she can only wield her sharpest thoughts against her own f lesh. She knows, on some level, that most of the problems in her life are her own fault in one way or another. Anger is just one of those thoughts that can never quite sink its teeth into her—she is not solid enough, and its jaws close around nothing at all.”
