Eve was afraid to follow her path without someone to help her, and so she wanted to share what she was feeling. <br/>Certain things cannot be shared. Nor can we be afraid of the oceans into which we plunge of our own free will; fear cramps everyone's style." <br/> <br/> <br/>"Human beings can withstand a week without water, two weeks without food, many years of homelessness,but not loneliness." <br/> <br/>"How does light enter a house? Through the open windows. How does light enter a person? Through the open door of love." <br/> <br/>"Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back where I came from because I didn't have the courage to say 'yes' to life?" <br/> <br/>"Certain things are lost forever." <br/> <br/>"She associated love more with the person's absence than with their presence." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/672270?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
