The idea that a life's wound could be healed is exciting treachery. Too good to be true." - Ask Again Later by Jill A. Davis
"Okay, I thought. Here you are. You are here. And you move forward because that's the way it works; that's the only place you can go. You keep going until it stops hurting, or until you find new things to hurt you worse, I guess.

You learn." -Jennifer Weiner
"Death is inevitable, it's a promise made to each of us at birth. But before that promise is kept, we want something to happen to us. Whether it is the thrill of romance. The joy of raising a family.

Some people spend their time on this planet just sitting on the sidelines waiting for something to happen to them before it's too late." - Desperate Housewives
