“When your past shows up to haunt you, make sure it comes after supper so it doesn't ruin your whole day.”
“Make sure you don't lose your heart living with Robert Morgan. Make sure he doesn't use up all the very best parts of you.”
“Grief doesn't come in a landslide. It seeps in,while you are sleeping. First you start in dreaming. Then your wake-up time carries over the sadness. And last your whole days are filled like a tumbler of water,filled with an aching that drips over the edge and doesn't have anywhere to go.”
“The past doesn't haunt us, we haunt the past.”
“Make peace with your past so you don't mess up the present!”
“Interest is never enough. If it doesn't haunt you, you'll never write it well. What haunts and obsesses you may, with luck and labour, interest your readers. What merely interests you is sure to bore them. (from Workbook)”
