You stared at the stranger in front of you and decided, categorically, that this was no longer your son. Or you made the decision to find whatever scraps ofyour child you still could in what he had become. Was that even really a choice, if you were a mother? Jodi Picoult
She wasn't, nor ever had been, under the illusion that marriage was a relationship characterized by endless bliss and romance. Throw any two people together, add the inevitable ups and downs, give the mixture a vigorous stir, and a few stormy arguments were inevitable, no matter how the couple loved each other. Nicholas Sparks
Michael Ondaatje quote: " the desert, where there is the communal book of moonlight. We..."
