“Some people & somethings are put in your life temporarily just to get you on to the next lesson. Everything isn't meant to last forever.”

“Maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn. And that's why they're here. You'll have that gift forever.”

“...maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through...”

“It isn't always easy to live the life you were meant to, but the lessons learned and the rewards are immeasurable.”

“Sometimes there is a single moment that changes your life forever. After that moment nothing feels the same anymore. You try to get back into your normal routine, but something is different, something's changed. Finally, you realize that everything is just the same as it always was. The only thing different is you. Hadie, you are that moment, and you have changed me. Forever.”

“The lesson seemed to be twofold: do not anger the gods, but if you must, at least make sure your city isn't next to a lake, as that's just asking for trouble.”
