stories forget wanted
Some stories stayed with you even when you wanted to forget them.
love-is
Love is worth the sum of itself, and nothing more.
dog guessing language
You can never tell about a person by guessing...that's why language was invented. Otherwise, we'd all be like dogs, sniffing each other to find out where we stood.
dream believe people
What you dream, you can grow. Someone told me that, but I didn't believe it. I said I had nothing and that people with nothing are unable to dream. But I was wrong.
love-you men unfinished-business
Unfinished business always comes back to haunt you, and a man who swears he'll love you forever isn't finished with you until he's done.
giving done riding
Crying wasn't like riding a bike. Give it up, and you quickly forget how it's done.
one-day tears necks
Holding a tear back makes them drain upward, higher and higher, until one day your head just explodes and you're left with a stub of a neck and nothing more.

twelve felt
She didn't like being twelve. It felt like someplace between who she'd been and who she was about to be. It felt like no place at all.

He was in love, and people in that condition did stupid, unfathomable things. They were all flawed, every single one.
believe fate thinking
I think we are bound to, and by, nature. We may want to deny this connection and try to believe we control the external world, but every time there's a snowstorm or drought, we know our fate is tied to the world around us
dark thinking magic-realism
Hawthorne has given us a tradition that some people refer to as Yankee Magic Realism, and I do think there is a certain quality to the landscape that definitely leads into the dark woods.
thinking people secret
I think secrets often come out. I spoke to a friend who is a therapist and I asked her if there were people who came to her and admitted to doing horrible things and she said, 'More than you know.'.
