Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.
Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.
I am not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens.
A horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.
A human life is a story told by God.
Death cannot kill what never dies.
In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.
I try to make my characters kind of ordinary, somebody that anybody could be. Because we've all had loves, perhaps love and loss, people can relate to my characters.
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
But she wasn’t around, and that’s the thing when your parents die, you feel like instead of going in to every fight with backup, you are going into every fight alone.
Things must be felt with the heart.
Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday.
I thought of the pillowcases as a symbol of love and loss, of retaining the memory of your loved one.
I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.
Certainly, it is. Love is love, and loss is loss. We all love, and we all die, and everyone suffers the pain of grieving. The trick is to enjoy what you have while you have it. Not run like a bunny from the good things because they might be taken away sooner than you’d like.
What else is there to write about than love and loss?
I've never thought about songwriting as a weapon. I've only thought about it as a way to help me get through love and loss and sadness and loneliness and growing up.
He played of love and loss and years of silence, words unsaid and vows unspoken, and all the spaces between his heart and theirs; and when he was done, and he'd set the violin back in its box, Will's eyes were closed, but Tessa's were full of tears.
I think all those years that I spent as a nurse, from the age of seventeen, just allowed me an insight into human emotion at those times of life when it's so important. And to see and witness those times of grief and love and loss and all those things was such a huge privilege, both in my own personal life, but it also, I think, spills over into my writing. I think the one thing that most novelists have is some degree of emotional intelligence, and if you don't have that, then perhaps you might struggle to be a novelist, because that has to come out somewhere.
