So far nothing’s convinced me different  (Sherwood Smith Quotes) Despite how entertaining certain stories were, at the bottom of every item of gossip there was someone getting hurt  (Sherwood Smith Quotes) No, I don’t think I could fall in love with him, handsome though he is, because I don’t accept any of that huff he gives me about my great beauty and all that. I’d have to trust a man’s words before I could love him. I think  (Sherwood Smith Quotes) Except. What is normal at any given time? We change just as the seasons change, and each spring brings new growth. So nothing is ever quite the same  (Sherwood Smith Quotes) Because you showed one face to all the rest of the world, and another to me  (Sherwood Smith Quotes) Memory warps time, as it does the sights and sounds and smells of reality; for what shapes it is emotion, which can twist what seems clear, just as the surface of a pond seems to bend the stick thrust into the water  (Sherwood Smith Quotes) The only noise now was the rain, pattering softly with the magnificent indifference of nature for the tangled passions of humans  (Sherwood Smith Quotes) When people first discover beauty, they tend to linger. Even if they don’t at first recognize it for what it is  (Sherwood Smith Quotes) Finally someone takes me seriously enough to ask for my word of honor, and it’s a villain  (Sherwood Smith Quotes)
