“You will find the way, daughter of the forest. Through grief and pain, through many trials, through betrayal and loss, your feet will walk a straight path.”

“… you have to learn where your pain is. You have to burrow down and find the wound, and if the burden of it is too terrible to shoulder, you have to shout it out; you have to shout for help… And then finally, the way through grief is grieving.”

“One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony.”

“The path of sound credence is through the thick forest of skepticism.”

“Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.”

“There's no way around grief and loss: you can dodge all you want, but sooner or later you just have to go into it, through it, and, hopefully, come out the other side. The world you find there will never be the same as the world you left.”

“You can have more adventure in an hour’s walk through a forest than in a year on a spaceship.”

“Wisdom's daughter walks alone,
The mark of Athena burns through Rome.”

“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”

“The only way to end grief was to go through it.”
