“There are always ripples in the water before a big wave. I’ve learned already to just let it take me; far easier to surrender and let it wash me up when it’s good and ready. I fear one day the dark water will swallow me down for good, and I won’t always be able to resurface. Switches are either on or off. People are either up or down. When I’m down, it’s so very hard to get back up and this is the farthest I’ve ever fallen.”

“We are all made of flesh and stars, but we all become dust in the end. Best to shine while you can.”

“Books, she has found, are a way to live a thousand lives--or to find strength in a very long one.”
