Robert Cormier Quotes

She didn't want to look ahead to the days and the months and the years with him. Here, now, in this room, it was all right, but later? Again, time couldn't stop.

And you had to change with time, with the seasons and the years, or you would be dead too, although your heart would continue to beat.

Robert Cormier
