“I could stand alone because I knew I was not alone.”

“The choice is not in what you do. The choice is in the why.”

“I'd spent my life searching for something I couldn't name.And as I drowned in the torrential flow of conflicting desires, caught in the relentless roar of water, earth, blood, and war, I reached out - wildly, desperately - and found it with him.”

“He can't give you a future.""I know. Because I make my own future.”

“I walked forward simply because there was no going back.”

“The flower drifted, light and open, gliding a path through still water like the faint stirrings of a dream.”
