Where the Quiet Blooms Quotes

“Falling apart created space for my art —
I do not blame anyone for it happening,
Nor do I thank anyone — not even myself — for letting it happen.

I will never be entirely put back together,
And I may never feel complete again,
But at least I have the chance to create myself anew.

And for that — only for that — I am thankful.”
― Laura Chouette, Where the Quiet Blooms

“I threw all the unwanted feelings
Into the jail you built over the years,
Out of my mind.

And when the time came to forget everything,
My heart laid to rest every sentence,
While my head revolted —
For there was no key to freedom.”
― Laura Chouette, Where the Quiet Blooms
