“Do you know that there's a halfway world between each ending and each new beginning? It's called the hurting time, Jean Perdu. It's a bog; it's where your dreams and worries and forgotten plans gather. Your steps are heavier during that time. Don't underestimate the transition, Jeanno, between farewell and new departure. Give yourself the time you need. Some thresholds are too wide to be taken in one stride.”
― Nina George, The Little Paris Bookshop

“Whether it hurts is kind of irrelevant.”
― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“That beautiful day passed just as the saddest ones do, since the most radiant of days has a tomorrow.”
― Thérèse de Lisieux, Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux
