Quote by Megan Farison

“...I was reading that, in some cultures, they don't throw away a piece of pottery just because it breaks. They pour gold into the cracks, and the piece is even more beautiful than it was before it broke." He turned his head and stared into me. "You broke our marriage. I'm hoping, after all this, we can end up with something beautiful.”

“It’s forever with you, nothing less. We’ll undress the fears that never belonged to us. No need to throw them in the hamper— let’s burn the cloaks of ignored sores in the backyard. Let the wind carry the ashes of threaded terrors, never to be seen again. We’ll kill time with machetes, challenging who even made up that concept anyway. Gaze upon the past with gratitude, give our hard-earned lessons honorable curtsies, and gift the present the good stuff— you know, our attention.”
