“We love and we feel and we try and we hope.”
“I suspect the most we can hope for, and it's no small hope, is that we never give up, that we never stop giving ourselves permission to try to love and receive love.”
“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”
“How we feel is not who we are. We might feel like failures, but as long as we are still trying, we are not failures. We are works in progress.”
“We tried poetry. We tried love.”
“We are what we love, Connie. The secret - the thing we hope for - is having that love returned.”
