“I live to write but, I read to live.”

“It's never too late to start over!”

“You'll change your mind before you can change me.”

“It's a shame that we humans are never able to pull in the same direction . . . [n]ot even when confronted by infinity.”

“I figured out that I can't forget. I can't really forgive. But I can live. Live with it. Like you live with a scar or a limp or whatever. You always know it's there. It reminds you never to let yourself do anything so stupid and horrible and wrong again. I step out of my rut, step again, and keep stepping. (277)”

“To read and write will help you understand life. . .to sew and mend will help you survive it.”

“I may be a werewolf and Scottish, but despite what you may have read about both, we are not cads!”
