“I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you. -Valerie”

However, quite often, that is all you need and all of what your pieces have been craving to taste.”

“Life isn’t about winning or losing; it’s about getting up and trying again.”

“The eyes and faces all turned themselves towards me, and guiding myself by them, as by a magical thread, I stepped into the room.”

“Hope only got you hurt. Hope was her least favourite thing, of all the things.”
