Quote by Dolly Parton

“I was born with a happy heart. I've always tried to let that shine even during my dark times. I'm one of those people who, even if things are not right, goes about trying to make it as right as I can rather than just lying around on my ass and wallowing in it all day.”

“You can't heal the people you love, You can't make choices for them, You can't rescue them, You can't promise them that they won't journey alone, You can loan them your map, But the trip is theirs. You can lend them strength when theirs runs thin, You can light the way when darkness creeps in. You can offer love, a hand to hold tight, But their path's their own, through day and night. They'll navigate highs, they'll face the lows, Their journey's unique, the way it goes. You'll stand as guide, a source of care, But in their footsteps, they'll learn to fare. Your support, a beacon along their track, A guiding presence, to help them back. Yet the road they tread, the course they chart, It's theirs to walk, it's from their heart. They'll find their way, through wind and rain, With lessons learned, they'll ease the pain. Your love's a compass, in the journey they're on, But healing's theirs, when the night turns to dawn.”

“As Juan listened to his wife's impassioned reasoning, a new and unsettling sensation overcame him. It was a feeling he had never experienced before – a profound loss of control over his own body. For the first time in his life, someone was dictating what he should do with his own physical being, and it left him profoundly uncomfortable.”
