The Secrets She Carried Quotes

“We are each of us dealt our little measure of time, set down on a road, and made to find our way home. But every man’s road is different, every woman’s, too, and the right way comes clear only when we’re looking at it from over our shoulder, when for better or worse we have chosen at the forked places and must live with what we chose. I suspect, for those who never had to stand at such a fork, the way must seem very clear indeed.”
― Barbara Davis, The Secrets She Carried

“And yet that’s all that’s left to us, really, when our fires burn down and our embers are all out, to own the choices our hearts have made, and not pretend we could have done different.”
― Barbara Davis, The Secrets She Carried
