“When did it come to Davy Land that exile is a country of shifting borders, hard to quit yet hard to endure, no matter your wide shoulders, no matter your toughened heart?”

“No matter how hard you try, you will never be able to carry the world. So you need to get it off your shoulders before you break your back." (From Night Marchers book 2 coming soon.)”

“Seeing with your heart, speaking from your heart, wearing your heart on your sleeve, and sacrificing for your heart will transform you into an extravagant lover. Hard work? Absolutely. But when you're an old woman at the end of your life and you evaluate your time on earth, I believe that there is only one question- beyond that of your salvation- that will really matter: Did I love well?”

“In the end that was the choice you made, and it doesn't matter how hard it was to make it. It matters that you did.”

“That was the absolute worst thing about love; no matter how hard you tried, you could never forget the person who had your heart.”

“No penance can your hard heart find save such as you long since have taught me to endure”
