“Sometimes, Just when we need them, life wraps metaphors up in little bows for us. When you think all is lost, the things you need the most return unexpectedly.”
“it is a sad truth in life that when someone has lost a loved one, friends sometimes avoid the person, just when the presence of friends is most needed.”
“I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them.”
“Life's harder, the deeper you feel things, was all I could think as I put the books away. Feelings, who needs them? Sometimes they're like a gift, when you feel love or happiness. Sometimes they're a curse.”
“We all think we're different, but when it comes around, we end up needing the same things. Somebody to love us. Somebody to respect us.”
“I think the things we want most in life, the things we think will set us free, are not the thing we need.”
