“I’d once had Henry’s wide-eyed wonder as I explored the world, but I’d learned most beautiful things wound barbs around your heart like wicked vines. They would either squeeze the life out of your heart or slash it with the barbs until you bled out.”

“He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.”

“Time is a river, I've learned. Always moving forward. But for people like me, people who have loved and lost, the river is something we fight.

― T.J. Klune, Into This River I Drown
