"A person doesn't ask permission to fall in love; not even of themselves."
— Ann Rinaldi

"Love is like light and there are two kinds, the bursting fireworks of the moment and the solid, fixed stars that sometimes become obscured in the heavens, but are always there, year after year, for a lifetime."
— Ann Rinaldi (In My Father's House (Point))

"There are depths to the human soul that should not be fathomed."
— Ann Rinaldi
