Mary E. Pearson: Thing

“I see only reminders that nothing lasts forever, not even greatness.”
“Some things last.”
I faced him. “Really? And just what would that be?”
“The things that matter.”

“My timing is off. But I had to get it out. Some things you have to tell, no matter how stupid they may sound. Some things you can't save for later. There might not be a later.”

“If one can't be trusted in love, one can't be trusted in anything. Some things can't be forgiven.”

“Darkness was a beautiful thing. The kiss of a shadow. A caress as soft as moonlight.”

“Love … It’s a nice little trick if you can find it.

We had found it.

But now I knew finding love and holding on to it were not the same thing.”

“What I think is all I have left. My mind is the only thing that makes me different from a fancy toaster. What we think does matter-it's all we truly have.”

“I would never betray Venda.”
“Sometimes we’re all pushed to do things we thought we could never do.”
