“I should explain how difficult it is to keep trying to do better when there are so many people who just refuse to understand how hard it is.

“Alice, Alice, gone down the rabbit hole. That's how Molly felt. On one hand she was more a woman than she had ever been, in all her eighteen years, and on the other she felt barely eight. There was something about the Book, though, something about holding it close that gave her a kind of distance and strength. She felt connected in that moment, and in truth, she thought she might have the answers to all of the questions that were running around like maniacs in her brain right there, curled up on her tongue. Not that she could have said them out loud or anything. It was more that she just knew, which gave her a kind of courage that she had never felt before.”

“Sai qual è l'errore che si fa sempre? Quello di credere che la vita sia immutabile, che una volta percorso un binario lo si debba percorrere fino in fondo. Il destino ha molta più fantasia di noi. Proprio quando credi di trovarti in una situazione senza via di scampo, quando raggiungi il picco di disperazione massima, con la velocità di una raffica di vento tutto cambia, si stravolge e da un momento all'altro ti trovi a vivere una nuova vita.”

“Weißt du, welchen Fehler man immer wieder macht? Den, zu glauben, das Leben sei unwandelbar und wenn man einmal einen Weg eingeschlagen habe, müsse man ihn auch bis zum Ende gehen. Das Schicksal hat viel mehr Fantasie als wir. Gerade, wenn du glaubst, du befändest dich in einer ausweglosen Situation, wenn du den Gipfel höchster Verzweiflung erreichst, verändert sich mit der Geschwindigkeit eines Windstoßes alles, dreht sich und plötzlich lebst du unvermutet ein neues Leben”
