Carol Leifer

Sex when you're married is like going to the 7-Eleven: There's not much variety, but at three in the morning, it's always there.

In one day I had altered my life; my life, therefore, was alterable. This simple axiom did not call out for exegesis; no, it entered my bloodstream directly, as powerful as heroin.

C. S. Lewis

I have discovered, passionate grief does not link us with the dead but cuts us off from them. This becomes clearer and clearer.
