“We yearn for tomorrow and the progress that it represents. But yesterday was once tomorrow, and where was progress in it? Or we yearn for yesterday, for what was or what might have been.

― Dean Koontz, Brother Odd

“Loss is the hardest thing, I said. But it's also the teacher that's the most difficult to ignore.”
― Dean Koontz, Odd Hours

“The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.”
