“But life, if nothing else, had taught her promises weren’t always to be counted on, and what appeared at first a shining chance might end in bitter disappointment.”

“Tis never the place, but the people one shares it with who are the cause of our happiest memories.”

“Ye’ll never best your fears until ye face them”

“The past can teach us, nurture us, but it cannot sustain us. The essence of life is change, and we must move ever forward or the soul will wither and die.”
