dream fall world
I wondered about the explorers who'd sailed their ships to the end of the world. How terrified they must have been when they risked falling over the edge; how amazed to discover, instead, places they had seen only in their dreams.
war fall past
Ross believed in past lives. Moreover, he believed that the person you fell in love with in each life was the same person you fell in love with in the life before, and the one before that. Sometimes, you might miss her - she'd be reborn in post-World War I generation, and you wouldn't come back until the fifties. Sometimes, your paths would cross and you wouldn't recognize each other. Get it right - that is: fall madly, truly, deeply - and perhaps there'd be an eternity carved out solely for the two of you.
mom mother real
Rest easy, real mothers. The very fact that you worry about being a good mom means that you already are one.
rip writing feelings
You need to learn to write on demand, and to get critiqued without flinching. When someone can rip your work to shreds without it feeling as though your arm has been hacked off, you're ready to send your novel off to an agent.
hate squirrels suffering
The only person who suffers, when you squirrel alway all that hate, is you.
love inspirational pain
The damage was permanent; there would always be scars. But even the angriest scars faded over time until it was difficult to see them written on the skin at all, and the only thing that remained was the memory of how painful it had been.
morning thinking ideas
The right idea is the one you can't stop thinking about; the one that's in your head first thing in the morning.
prayer differences wish
The only difference between a wish and a prayer is that you're at the mercy of the universe for the first, and you've got some help with the second.
ignorance walking-through-life trying
Sometimes we find ourselves walking through life blindfolded, and we try to deny that we're the ones who securely tied the knot.
focus lone-wolf lost
The wolves knew when it was time to stop looking for what they'd lost, to focus instead on what was yet to come.
perseverance motivation writing
Writing is grunt work - you need to have self-motivation, perseverance, and faith... talent is the smallest part of it.
sister mother children
I have a sister, so I know-that relationship, it's all about fairness: you want your sibling to have exactly what you have-the same amount of toys, the same number of meatballs on your spaghetti, the same share of love. But being a mother is completely different. You want your child to have more than you ever did. You want to build a fire underneath her and watch her soar. It's bigger than words.
rip heart pieces
Bleeding heart, he’d called her. Well. He should know. He’d been the first to rip it to pieces.
mother children school
Was it the act of giving birth that made you a mother? Did you lose that label when you relinquished your child? If people were measured by their deeds, on the one hand, I had a woman who had chosen to give me up; on the other, I had a woman who'd sat up with me at night when I was sick as a child, who'd cried with me over boyfriends, who'd clapped fiercely at my law school graduation. Which acts made you more of a mother? Both, I realized. Being a parent wasn't just about bearing a child. It was about bearing witness to its life.
