“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. But as we are yearning, the present is becoming the past, so the past is nothing but our yearning for second chances.”
― 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.”

“Take pride in your pain; you are stronger than those who have none”
― Lois Lowry, Gathering Blue
