“Sometimes you think you know what you want, she said, hugging her children, until you see how much more you can have.”
“You never know how much you can do, until you try to do more than you can.”

“Sometimes you don't even know what you want until you find out you can't have it.”
“It doesn't work like that," she said, and I was hoping she would tell me how it did work.Maybe she could see that, because she went on. "Sometimes you're loved because of your weaknesses," she said. "What you can't do is sometimes more compelling than what you can.”
“Now you know how badly someone wanted you, Charley. Children forget that sometimes. They think of themselves as a burden instead of a wish granted.”
