Quote by Fiona Valpy

“Claire and Vivi showed how much the human spirit can endure: brutality, cruelty, inhumanity – all of these can be borne. It is the loss of those you love that is unbearable.”

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 19 From error to error, we'll correct our errors. From failure to failure, we shall rise high. From despair to despair, our fears disappear. From scar to scar, our heart learns to fly. From one jinx to another, we become destiny. From darkness to darkness, we become light. One wound to another, we become the cure. From one loss to another, we understand life. Dust bite after dust bite, all dust become ointment. One lost road after another, we draw a new map. Teardrops upon teardrops, all tears turn elixir. One screw-up after another, we learn to grow up. One heartbreak to another, we become the healer. Bearing crisis upon crisis, we shall rise as creator.”

“I don't know why people try to be friends with their exes. I mean, we were never friends, so why try after having decided that an intimate relationship isn't going to work? Friendships are intimate, too. You can't just, like, turn the connection down a notch and hope to make it better. It's still the same connection, and if it's faulty it's going to stay faulty.”
