Quote by Anne Perreault

“He cocked his head and considered her. Would she slap his face for even suggesting this? “Trust me.” He managed to draw her to her feet, her back to his chest. “What are you doing?” Her voice came as a quick burst. She struggled against him. “Trust... me.” He wrapped his arms tightly around her, cocooning her in his embrace. If only he could keep her like this. Safe. Protected. Her arms hung by her side, her hands forming tight fists. But no punch - yet.”

Fortunately, you can control the amount of forgiveness you give off.”

“Every one of us is losing something precious to us," he says after the phone stops ringing. "Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads--at least that's where I imagine it--there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in a while, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library.”
