Quote by C.G. Drews

“He can’t get comfortable in this house, with this family, not even as his soul reaches for something. For someone. It would be easier if they hated him for all the trouble he’s caused. But of course he’s stuck with the one family who refuses to lose patience.”

“Over me hangs a silver canopy of stars, like the diamonds set in chandeliers out East. But I'd take these stars and the pines stretching tall enough to rake them out of the dark sky over those diamonds any day. The beautiful stillness of the night overtakes me and my eyes well with tears. There is nothing more beautiful than one's home, one's stars, and the smell of the trees standing like sentinels around the land you love.”
