Shelby Whatcott’s Reviews > The Way Forward is with a Broken Heart > Status Update

“I believe only the moment we are in is promised, and that it, whatever it is, should always be ‘the future’ we want.”

“If North America survives, it will not look like or be like it is today. One day there will be, created out of all of us lovers, an American race… We will simply not let the writers of history claim we did not exist. Why should the killers of the world be ‘the future’ and not us?”

“What is this road on which there is so much beauty and so much pain? So much love and so much suffering? Such surprise.”

“Is anything more painful than realizing you did not know the right questions to ask at the only time on earth you would have the opportunity?”
Pg. 16

I didn’t know this book had the plot line of grief over a loved one so this quote resonated with me a lot.
