Dr. Strange Beard (Winston Brothers, #5)

“The pleasure of remembering had been taken from me, because there was no longer anyone to remember with. It felt like losing your co-rememberer meant losing the memory itself, as if the things we'd done were less real and important than they had been hours before.” JOHN GREEN, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

“You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed.” IYANLA VANZANT, YESTERDAY, I CRIED

“Remember tonight... for it is the beginning of always.” DANTE ALIGHIERI

Bethany Winston once told me that time was like a closet. No matter what you do or how good your intentions are, you will always fill your time and closets with things that don’t matter. “That’s why funerals are so important,” she’d said. “They force you to clean out closets and reevaluate how you spend your time. Without death, we’d never have empty closets.”
