The View From Here Quotes

“Anyhow, I believe that there comes a day when you have to burn your bridges just to make sure you can still swim."

“...I asked her if he missed my poppa. She said she did. But God had always made it so that women outlived men. That way women could have time to be by themselves-a time to be in the world without a reason bein' placed upon it. That women had so many faces: a face for their husband, a face for their children, a face for strangers; only when they were alone could they find that face that suited just them. And if the woman happened to die before the man, that time alone would show him her worth.”
