Between Two Skies Quotes

“When I look into my future, what I wish for isn't a job or a title or anything like that. I'm not Mandy, who wants everyone to admire and love her. For me, it would be enough to have one person. Someone who looks into my eyes and really sees me. To have that, that one person and this whole big ocean to explore and take care of, to keep for those who come after me. That would be enough for me.”
― Joanne O'Sullivan, Between Two Skies

“For me so far, falling in love has been nothing like fishing. It is more like making music. Trying to find a melody and matching the words, and then when they're together, getting lost in it. Carried away. You carry it in your body so that sometimes it bursts out of you and other times it's quiet and so unconscious that you're humming and you don't even notice it.”

“What’s going to happen to us?” “I can’t tell you that. The one thing I know about life is that it always moves forward, not backward.

There’s a season for everything. We can’t stop it, and we shouldn’t want to. Are you sure you’re looking forward and not back?”

“What if when you go through the bad thing, the good thing’s on the other end? Or if you respond to the bad thing in the right way, you get the good thing?” My first thought is that I wonder — I hope — that he is thinking the same thing I am. That maybe we had to go through losing everything to meet each other again. And that’s the good thing. “Maybe. Maybe things aren’t supposed to be easy. Maybe we’re supposed to work for it,” I say. “Why, do you believe in fate?”
