“About fireworks?
About love. About how we often mistake love for fireworks - for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet, very still. It's boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. Love is deep and calm - and constant. I imagine you do give Kathy love - in the true sense of the word. Whether or not she is capable of giving it back to you is another question.”
― Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patient

“The Lord does not make men do evil things to one another. But the Lord gave us the right to choose. Whether we do good or evil, it is our own decision and our own responsibility.”
― Olivia Hawker, The Ragged Edge of Night

“It seems so simple, doesn’t it? So obvious. If someone hurts you, just leave. But in reality, life isn’t that clear. Relationships aren’t that simple. They’re layered and complicated. Does one bad action undo years of good?’ I shrugged. ‘It’s hard to say.”
― Alex Stone, The Good Patient

“Old books, the kind that give off the smell of dust and decay, an odor Balastair associates with the scent of pure knowledge. Knowledge of new things. Knowledge of new places. Every book a doorway—a cabinet of curiosities opening to a new land.”
