“Most of all they learned one another, as few people ever have or will. In the churn and tumult of their lives—where summer did not always follow spring, where even their own names were tricksome and shifting—they were to one another what fixed stars are to sailors: the only way through the dark.”

“Frankie wishes she could pull over and ask these people if it helps to think that anything is possible, or if the more important lesson is that struggle is a part of everyone's life, and there is no such thing as perfection. What has more impact, the value of a dream or the cost of a lie?”

“Every page was once a blank page, just as every word that appears on it now was not always there, but instead reflects the final result of countless large and small deliberations.

“And it would be you who paid it, who would never stop paying it. Because you loved me, and in loving me, you would never be free.

― Alix E. Harrow, The Everlasting
