A Ride into Morning Quotes

“My heart stopped beating, I know it did. Hearts do that sometimes, for just a beat or two. Then they start up again. But they never regain those missed beats, and nothing is ever the same afterwards. Life proceeds to a different cadence, and never again as harmonious as before”
― Ann Rinaldi, A Ride into Morning: The Story of Tempe Wick

“You are a man without a heart, Dr. Leddell.

And you, Mary Cooper, are a meddler. A woman can be forgiven for many transgressions but not that.

I have been called worse. And by people I hold in more esteem than you.

Ha! I pity the poor man unfortunate enough to marry you someday. He writes his own ticket to hell.

If he does, then I'll make that hell as pleasant a place for him as I know how. But I won't deceive him and tell him it's heaven, then stoke the fires behind his back and cover it all with the scent of lilacs".”
