Quotes by Ann Warner (?)

“I know from our talks, you worry about making the right choices in your life. I cannot nor should anyone, tell you what to do. For that, my dear, you must listen to your own heart. And, never fear, it is speaking to you.
Perhaps I can help a little though, by showing you how I found my own way.”
― Ann Warner, Dreams for Stones

“And I had the absurd feeling that I knew him, although I also knew that wasn’t possible. I now think that sometimes, when we first meet someone who’s going to be important to us, we’re given a glimpse . . .”
