“amanda lifted a large handful of pictures out of the box and dropped them into her lap, flicking through them as they fall. they told a thousand stories, didn't they? the pictures of your life. but they left a lot out, too. ”
“A picture is worth a thousand words. A story is worth a thousand images”
“from - Your Life is Worth Living: If it be a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God,It is a more terrible thing to fall out of them.”
“Stories are like snapshots, pictures snatched out of time, with clean hard edges. But this was life, and life always begins and ends in a bloody muddle, womb to tomb, just one big mess, a can of worms left to rot in the sun.”
“All of life is like raindrops on the window; some stick around for a little while and some just fall right out of the picture.”
“If you're going to succeed, you've got to be like one of those punch-drunk fighters in the old Warner Bros. boxing pictures: too stupid to fall down, you just keep slugging and stay on your feet.”
