Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I can drop a dove in midflight. And I don’t even want to hurt them. You, I kinda want to shoot.”
“You are of me, Loreda, in a way that can never be broken. Not by words or anger or actions or time. I love you. I will always love you.”
“It’s not weak, you know. To feel things deeply, to want things. To need.”
“Even if that is true, what does a person do about it? The things your parents say and the things your husband doesn’t say become a mirror, don’t they? You see yourself as they see you, and no matter how far you come, you bring that mirror with you.” “Break it,” Jean said. “How?” “With a gosh dang rock.” Jean leaned forward. “I’m a mirror, too, Elsa. You remember that.”
“You’ve unbalanced me, Elsa.”
Love is what remains when everything else is gone.
