“Sometimes there's just no way to hold back the river.”

“May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.”

“All the way up the river she's been holding back somehow, waiting. Now you'll both have to wait. I'm not going to disappoint her, Kit. When I take you on board the Witch, it's going to be for keeps.”

“I sometimes go back to walk through the ghostly remains of Sutton Place where the rude, new buildings stand squarely in one another’s river views.”

“It's about not accepting every little challange thrown at you. Sometimes you hold back and when it's needed you go for it.”

“Writing is not life, but I think that sometimes it can be a way back to life.”

“Love sucks. Sometimes it feels good. Sometimes it's just another way to bleed.”

“sometimes we need all the glue we can get, just to hold ourselves together.”

“We know it's all just daydreaming… But sometimes, it'd be nice just to hold something real in your hands that felt like a measure of your worth.”

“So what are you afraid of? What is holding you back? What is it that stands in your way? Do it!”
