“Sometimes, the only things that make you feel good are the same ones that worked when you were five. Yes, I slammed the door”

“Told you, something’s good, it’s worth fightin’ for but not if you’re the only one fightin’.Then he opened the door, slamming it behind him and stalked out.”

“For a long time, I tried to make my ilfe work, to make our family work. I got tired, though. Five children wears you out until the only thing left inside you, the only thing you've got to give, is a memory of what you thought you'd be.”

“Time wasn't the same anymore. Doors were slamming shut before we even knew they'd been opened. Good fortune can take forever to get to you, but as it turns out, sorrow is as quick as a shot.”

“When you feel every door has slammed shut in your face and locked you out...find that open window and crawl through it.”

“Sometimes you have to go on when you don't feel like it, and sometimes you're doing good work when it feels like all you're managing is to shovel shit from a sitting position.”
