Parent Loss Quotes

“Père smiled, and his last note was like a note of defiance flung into the air, bearing him away to nothing and to no one's and as be went be took with him something that would never come again, the lost boy, the frightened happy child - he took something of Julius himself - something that was tremulous, and pitiful, and young.”
― Daphne du Maurier, Julius

“Bombs and blood. That was how the rebels had killed his mother.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
