“Relationships are a bit like the briars, Annie. You know, those sharp little brambles that this neck of the woods is known for. They'll cut you up good before they give up their sweetest berries, but once you've got a pot of jam simmering on the stove and see those jars on your pantry shelves, you don't think much about the pain, do you? There's sweetness in life to be had, but sometimes you gotta get through the briars first.”
― Sarah Crouch, The Briars

“We don’t see things as they are,’” she said. “‘We see them as we are.”
― Heather Aimee O'Neill, The Irish Goodbye

“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards. - Kierkegaard”
