I wept to think that life went on even when so much had been lost, that rain still fell and myrtle grew between the rocks Picture Quote #1

No one knows you like a person with whom you’ve shared a childhood. No one will ever understand you in quite the same way Picture Quote #1

Perhaps it is possible to discover more in silence than in speech. Or perhaps it is only that those who are silent among us learn to listen Picture Quote #1

She liked to disappear, even when she was in the same room as other people. It was a talent, as it was a curse Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t good company, that was true, and people avoided me, but that was all right. I was too busy dreaming Picture Quote #1

Some things, when they change, never do return to the way they once were. Butterflies for instance, and women who’ve been in love with the wrong man too often Picture Quote #1

I wrote to find beauty and purpose, to know that love is possible and lasting and real... Once I got to my desk, once I started writing, I still believed anything was possible Picture Quote #1

When I write for teens, I feel I can cut through everything and get to the bare bones. I can get straight into the emotional world of the character Picture Quote #1

My mother’s blood that would last forever after. The blood of my brother, my grandfather, my father Picture Quote #1

I wonder how a lioness will manage in a dovecote. Can you put away your teeth and claws? Picture Quote #1

Among men and women, those in love do not always announce themselves with declarations and vows. But they are the ones who weep when you’re gone. Who miss you every single night, especially when the sky is so deep and beautiful, and the ground so very cold Picture Quote #1

There was the blue sky above her and all those many roses, the ones that gave off the scent of cloves in the rain and the ones that left a trace of lemon on your fingers, the ones that were the color of blood, and those that were as white as clouds. Each one was sweeter than the next and as red as gemstones Picture Quote #1

Jill told me that when you’re really in love, you know right away. I’m not exactly sure how this happens. Is it like a flash of lightning? Like an angel tapping you on the shoulder? Or is it similar to choosing a puppy? You think you’re picking the cutest one, but really you wind up going home with the one who keeps insisting on climbing into your lap Picture Quote #1
