Quote by Kirsty Logan

“When I was a child, sadness was the islands- rocky, yes, but small and containable, easy to leave. Now sadness was the sea. So I went in... I knew the water was cold, but to me it felt warm. No-that's not right. It felt like nothing.”

“Acum înţeleg ce înseamnă suferinţa care nu se poate manifesta în voie. Te roade, pe ascuns, încet, fără să te avertizeze. Te lasă cu armele jos, te ia pe nepregătite, să te predai. Nu plâng când îmi amintesc că nu mai eşti. Lucrul acesta nu poate fi integrat în mine. Plâng când îmi amintesc de clipele atât de vii cu tine. Alea dor cel mai tare pentru că aduc la suprafaţă adevărul crud că nu vor mai fi niciodată.”

“I am sad because I love you, because I love you so much, and because I am not a bee to buzz with you lightly. I am not a flower, not a tree, not a rain-hewn stone. I am not a storm or a cresting wave, not a thorn or a vine. I am not the sun stinging the water, not the moon on the snow. I am not a star in the dark. I am not the dew-wet wind, not the cloud-stained dawn. I am only a girl, a small, plain girl, a girl who must smear her lips in honey to be found sweet.”

“Do you know what hurts so very much? It's love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.' I did not know, as I listened to my father's footsteps winding back down the stairs, that he had given me more than the key to this hard moment. I did not know that he had put in my had the secret that would open far darker rooms that this--places where there was not, on a human level, anything to love at all.”
