Quote by Torre DeRoche

“His introduction throws me. The only time I can envision "Hi, I'm a surgeon" as a fitting introduction is if I were on a gurney in a stark white room and a man wielding a scalpel was standing over me. Plus, it's been a while since we've talked careers with anyone. Jobs are rarely a topic of conversation anymore--they exist in a place and time too far away to seem interesting. "What do you do?" is not a question asked to define someone, because out here we're all working the same jobs: yachties, mechanics, navigators, weather-readers, fishermen, adventure travelers, storytellers.”

“There are pains so deep they don’t scream — they freeze. And the soul, to keep itself from shattering, wraps itself in white from the inside out.

“O da bütün bunları çok iyi biliyordu; benim için erişilmez oluşundan, ona dair tüm hayallerimin imkansızlığı düşüncesinden de muazzam bir keyif aldığına kalıbımı basarım; aksi takdirde onun gibi temkinli ve akıllı bir kadın bana karşı bu kadar samimi, açık davranır mıydı?

“There isn’t a someday. There never was. No one has ever been to the future that you keep putting your life on hold for. All we ever have is now. And if you continually put your life on hold for what your life will be like tomorrow, or the next year, or when you finally lose the weight, you won’t recognize that you already have what you want because you will have spent years training yourself to want, not have.”

“Are our lives like car-worn ruts In the face of the ground Created through habitual use And so set in place that they dictate An unalterable course of drudgery, Complaints, and same 'ol same 'ol, Which if bucked threatens our security? That is one long sentence, isn't it? You can change it.”
