Quotes by Diane Schoemperlen (?)

“I remind myself that not everything is a sign, that some things simply are what they appear to be and should not be analyzed, deconstructed, or forced to bear the burden of metaphor, symbol, omen, or portent.”
― Diane Schoemperlen, Our Lady of the Lost and Found: A Novel of Mary, Faith, and Friendship

“Against all odds and despite all evidence to the contrary, still we trust that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel, of our personal tunnel anyway.”
― Diane Schoemperlen, Our Lady of the Lost and Found: A Novel of Mary, Faith, and Friendship

“For those of us with a bookish bent, reading is a reflexive response to everything. This is how we deal with the world and anything that comes our way. We have always known that there is a book for every occasion and every obsession. When in doubt, we are always looking things up.”
― Diane Schoemperlen, Our Lady of the Lost and Found: A Novel of Mary, Faith, and Friendship
