    I Believe in Bonnie and Clyde the sign read. Finn read it again, and then again, not sure what to make of it. Then he looked at Bonnie and shrugged. So? ... So? she hissed. It's a sign! Yeah. It is. A cardboard sign. Finn! It has our names on it! Names which happen to be the same as a very well-known pair. He could have written 'I believe in Sonny and Cher' or 'Beavis and Butthead' or Peanut Butter and Jelly. Bonnie looked a little crestfallen. He'd taken the magic out of the moment. ...

    But it wasn’t. Sex is not the most intimate thing two lovers can do. Even when the sex is beautiful. Even when it’s perfect.” Millie drew a deep breath as if she remembered how perfect it had truly been. “The most intimate thing we can do is to allow the people we love most to see us at our worst.

    I didn’t know if his art was helping. But Moses’s pictures were like that, glorious and terrible. Glorious because they brought memory to life, terrible for the same reason.

    But Moses’s pictures dripped with life and reminded us of our loss.

  • Amy Harmon Quote #10

    I don't think we get answers to every question. We don't get all the whys. But I think when we look back to the end of our lives, if we do the best we can, and we will see that the things we begged God to take from us, the things we cursed him for, the things that made us turn our backs on him, are the things that were the biggest blessings, the biggest opportunities for growth.

  • Amy Harmon Quote #11

    I don’t know how,” I confessed, and I pulled my hand away so I wouldn’t hurt her in my frustration.
    She grabbed my hand and brought it back, this time pressing it to her heart.
    “I’m telling you how. You hold onto me. You trust me. You use me. You lean on me. You rely on me. You let me shelter you. You let me love you. All of you. Cancer. Fear. Sickness. Health. Better. Worse. All of you. And you’ll have all of me.

  • Amy Harmon Quote #12

  • Amy Harmon Quote #15

    I need you, Fern. I'm not going to lie. I need you. But I don't need you the same way Bailey did. I need you because it hurts when we're apart. I need you because you make me hopeful. You make me happy.

  • Amy Harmon Quote #17

    I've been in love with you since you helped me bury that spider in my garden, and you sang with me like we were singing “Amazing Grace” instead of “The Itsy, Bitsy Spider.” I've loved you since you quoted Hamlet like you understood him, since you said you loved ferris wheels more than roller coasters because life shouldn't be lived at full speed, but in anticipation and appreciation. I read and re-read your letters to Rita because I felt like you'd opened up a little window into your soul, and the light was pouring out with every word. They weren't even for me, but it didn't matter. I loved every word, every thought, and I loved you . . . so much.

  • Amy Harmon Quote #18

    La vera bellezza, quel tipo di bellezza che non scompare, che non viene lavata via richiede sempre tempo. Esige costanza e resistenza.E’ la goccia che scivola lenta a formare la stalattite, il tremore costante della terra a creare le montagne, lo sferzare delle onde che si infrangono sulle rocce a dar loro una forma. E dalla violenza, dalla foga, dalla furia del vento, dal ruggito delle onde emerge sempre qualcosa di meraviglioso, qualcosa che diversamente non sarebbe mai esistito. Solo con questa consapevolezza possiamo resistere e sopportare le avversità. Dobbiamo avere fede che ci sia uno scopo, dobbiamo pregare per cose che non possiamo vedere. Dobbiamo credere che ci siano delle lezioni da imparare nella perdita, che ci sia potenza nell’amore e che abbiamo dentro di noi una bellezza così magnificente che i nostri corpi non sono in grado di contenere” (da Making Faces)

    My brain is already scrambled enough.”“Cracked,” I said, not thinking.
    “Yeah.” Moses scowled.
    “Well, it’s working for you.” I turned and looked at my walls. “Cracks and all. In fact, if your brain wasn’t cracked, none of the brilliance could spill out. Do you realize that?

  • Amy Harmon Quote #24

  • Amy Harmon Quote #25

    Oh Josie, Samuel sighed gently. Your heart is too tender for your own good.
    I don't usually cry like this, Samuel. Geez, it's been years since I've cried like this. Since you've been back I can't seem to stop. It's like a cloud has burst inside me, and I'm caught in a constant downpour
    Come here, Josie, Samuel said, and when I slid over next to him he kissed me gently on the forehead and smoothed my hair from my damp cheeks. Well then, maybe you should go ahead and just let it rain for a while
    And so I did.

  • Amy Harmon Quote #26

    People who are afraid of the truth never find it.

  • Amy Harmon Quote #27

    Saying something is “meant to be” is a cop out. It’s a way for people to deal when they screw up or when life hands them a bowl of shit stew. The things that are meant to be are the things we can’t control, the things we don’t cause, the things that happen regardless of who or what we are. Like sunsets and snow-fall and natural disasters. I’ve never believed hardship or suffering was meant to be. I’ve never believed relationships were meant to be. We choose. In large part, we choose. We create, we make mistakes, we burn bridges, we build new ones.

  • Amy Harmon Quote #28

    Shakespeare said, 'the robbed that smiles steals something from the thief.

  • Amy Harmon Quote #30

    The road was so dimly lighted.
    There we;re no highway signs to guide.
    But they made up their minds,
    If all roads were blind,
    They wouldn't give up 'til they died....
