Life is about getting knocked down over and over, but still getting up each time.
If you keep getting up, you win.”

“Love is not the sharp-edged thing she's always believed it to be. It's not like the sea, liable to slip through her fingers if she holds on too tight. It's not a currency, something to be earned or denied or bartered for. Love can be steadfast. It can be certain and safe, or as wild as an open flame. It's a slice of buttered bread at dinner table. It's a grudge born of worry. It's broken skin pulled over swollen knuckles.”
― Allison Saft, A Far Wilder Magic

“Everything I've ever let go of has claw marks on it. (on the wall of a bedroom at a recovery house for alcoholics and drug addicts)”
