Pain Quotes (page 59)
I'm glad I've been wrong enough to keep in practice. . . You can't avoid it, you've got to learn to handle it.

Steven Moffat
Anyone who has lost a love to death can tell you about that fall. You wake from a hard-won sleep and be there warm and groggy and consider engaging the day. And then you remember. Half of you is not there, and never will be again. The person who focused all the disparate parts of you into a whole is gone. The agony is too much; you almost welcome the great slide ahead of you.
