Those who've survived periods of bleakness are often better at savoring good times and wise enough to understand that good times are actually great.”
― Helen Brown, Cleo: How an Uppity Cat Helped Heal a Family

“It's a full moon here tonight, which makes me think of you. Because, I know that no matter what I am doing or where I am, this moon will always be the same size as yours, half a world away.”
― Nicholas Sparks, Dear John
