“Time itself is a gift-curse. Time says: ‘Look here! Here is a precious moment to do something with!’ Then as soon as you try to grasp the moment, it’s gone. And you haven’t done anything. And while you’re thinking about that, there is another moment, and then it too is gone. Cruel, like an eternal game of pass-the-parcel.”
― J.T. Lawrence, The Memory of Water

“Sometimes we see what we want to, instead of what’s in front of us. And sometimes, we don’t see clearly at all.”
― Jodi Picoult, Change of Heart

“Don't complicate what's simple.”
― Stephen King, Mr. Mercedes

“You’re a taker. And you’ve been taking for a long time. And I think that you can only take so much from the universe before it closes shop.”
― J.T. Lawrence, The Memory of Water
