Margreete's Harbor Quotes

“[Liddie} looked at Bernie, tears in her eyes. 'What I want to say is this: Try not to do what I've done most of my life. Which is this. Keeping hurt places hidden.

'I need your father, and I need you.' She took a deep breath. 'It's not safe to love. There's no way to make love safe. Every time you love someone, you risk losing them. But living in safety is no way to live.”
― Eleanor Morse, Margreete's Harbor

“What does it mean to be alive? To be curious. The opposite was dead. Margreete, for all her confusion, was never dead until she was dead.”
― Eleanor Morse, Margreete's Harbor
