“Beauty is a paradox,every joy must taste of pain,every goodness bears a wound,every faded memory stains the mind”

“The sudden loss of her father was like living with a wound that would never heal, yet her memories of him were fading more and more every day.”

“In the sky there are always answers and explanations for everything: every pain, every suffering, joy and confusion.”

“I could not bear the deep freeze settling around my bones at the thought that yet another attempt to get out of my life alive would end in disappointment. Time became palpable and viscous. Every minute, every second, every nanosecond, wrapped around my spine so that my nerves tightened and ached. I faded into abstraction. A self-generated narcosis created a painful blank where my mind used to be.”

“A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.”

“I didnt tell him I'd thought of him every day. That even when every other memory had faded, he never left. - Nikki”

“Christmas is built upon a beautiful and intentional paradox; that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home.”
