Wherever it is you make your home, there is always this other place, this other person, calling to you. Come to me. Come back. Joyce Maynard
...tragedy and death would follow a person whereever he went in life. There was no such thing as escape, except maybe the kind that Mr. Kirby had accomplished... Joyce Maynard
