    Jamie McGuire
    “I smiled to fight the tears. "Fifty bucks says you'll be thanking me for this when you meet your future wife."

    “There's a girl, Dad."

    He smiled a bit. "A girl."

    "She kinda hates me, and I kinda..."

    "Love her?"

    "I don't know. I don't think so. I mean...how do you know?"

    His smile grew wider. "When you're talking about her with your old dad because you don't know what else to do.”

    Hugo Hamilton
    “People say you're born innocent, but it's not true. You inherit all kinds of things that you can do nothing about. You inherit your identity, your history, like a birthmark that you can't wash off. ... We are born with our heads turned back, but my mother says we have to face into the future now. You have to earn your own innocence, she says. You have to grow up and become innocent.”
    Hugo Hamilton, The Sailor in the Wardrobe

    Richelle E. Goodrich
    “Life is a valuable and unique opportunity
    to discover who you are.
    But it seems as soon as you near
    answering that age-old question,
    something unexpected always happens
    to alter your course.
    And who it is you thought you were
    suddenly changes.

    Then comes the frustrating realization
    that no matter how long life endures,
    no matter how many experiences
    are muddled through in this existence,
    you may never really be able
    to answer the question....

    Who am I?

    Because the answer, like the seasons,
    constantly, subtly, inevitably changes.
    And who it is you are today
    is not the same person you will be tomorrow.”
    Richelle E. Goodrich, Eena, The Dawn and Rescue

    Cecilia Llompart
    “Consider the road, long and forked
    as the Devil’s own tongue.

    Consider the Devil, burning
    every bridge; Placing

    in every tree a black bird.
    In every bird a black thought.”
    Cecilia Llompart, The Wingless
