„Josh má kuráž, je mnohem odvážnější než já. Vždycky udělá ještě jeden krok navíc, i když dobře ví, že už by neměl. Ale přesto se k němu odhodlá, a tím se učí.

“Sighs and silences and avoided conversations are just as important as the things you do talk about.”

“Rosie: What the hell was that silence?
Steph: It sounds like something I’d like. It sounded nice.
Rosie: It was.”

“We each have our hiding places and we each put up with the little quirks of the people we love.”

“Note to self:
Do not under any circumstances fall in love again.”

“But where pain was, healing could come; where loneliness was, new relationships could be formed; where rejection was, new love could be found. It was a moment. And moments changed. She would have to live through the moment to get to the next.”

“And nobody had told them that they were short on time.”

“So many objects, so many memories. Each was being labelled and packed away in bags just as it was in her mind. To be stored in an area that would sometime be called upon to teach and help in future life.”

“Imagining and fantasizing did nothing but break her heart.”

“I don’t want to be

influential, and so treasured, yet years later just a vague face and a distant
memory.”

“People come and go.”
