“Home, she'd realized, wasn't a place or a time or a person, though it could be any and all of those things: home was a feeling, s sense of being complete.

― Kate Morton, Homecoming

“That’s what hope feels like: the best air you’ve ever breathed after the worst fall you’ve ever taken. It hurts.”
― Amy Harmon, Where the Lost Wander

“To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.”
