Quote by Jessica Knoll

“Her lips are moving silently around words I recognize. 'I carry you like my own personal Time Machine, as I put on my lipstick, smile, and head out to the party.' It's a line by one of her favourite poets, a woman named Donna Carnes, whose husband went out to sail in San Francisco Bay and had not been seen since. I love it too. How many parties have I gone to over the years, and laughed, and had a good time, while still managing to hold Denise close?”

“Just make sure she’s comfortable and gets to eat whatever she wants to eat. That’s it. That was the oncologist’s parting advice, the home care instructions for the love of Jack’s life. His wife was now like a goldfish brought home from a mall pet store. The goldfish that was confined to a small fishbowl that sat on a bedroom dresser. The little goldfish you imbue with so much love. You feed it first thing every morning. You talk to it. Develop a relationship. And then one morning, after less than a week of having the fish home, you find it floating belly up in its little tank. And you realize some part of you knew this would happen. You realize that every morning you fed the fish you were saying goodbye. You just didn’t know it at the time.”

“Life's A Lunar Cycle (The Sonnet) Life is like the lunar cycle, sometimes it is full shining, sometimes it is half shining, other times it goes totally dark. But one thing is certain, no one phase lasts forever, it all just keeps changing, thus light is sustained through life's brief encounter. The unpredictability of life is what makes life predictable. Sometimes it rains cats and dogs, the next moment sunshine is unavoidable.”
