“I found it strange that no word exists for a parent who loses a child. If children lose their parents, they are orphans. If a husband loses his wife, he’s a widower. But there’s no word for a parent who loses a child. I’ve come to believe that the event is just too big, too monstrous, too overwhelming for words. No word could ever describe the feeling, so we leave it unsaid.”
― Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers

“Some things don’t bear the weight of words. That’s the problem with your generation, you all want to talk, talk, talk. What is the point?”
― Kristin Hannah, The Women

“Love mattered in this ruined world, but so did honor. What was one without the other?”
― Kristin Hannah, The Women

“Having discovered her own failings, she was less inclined to judge others.”
― Kristin Hannah, The Women
