“We didn’t know sadness until we had a point of comparison.”
Andrés Barba, Such Small Hands

Charles Martin
“Maybe only an orphan can understand this, but we had been cut free from our anchor and the blow was crushing. We didn't know who we were, and more importantly, we didn't know whose we were -- forever proving that identity precedes purpose. You can't know who you are until you've settled whose you are.

[Bones, to Murphy Shepherd, about himself and his brother Frank]”
Charles Martin, The Record Keeper
