I have a cat, the pet that ranks just above a throw pillow in terms of required responsibility. - Anna Quindlen

Control is a nice concept, little more.

Like so many of the other books I read, it never seemed to me like a book, but like a place I had lived in, had visited and would visit again, just as all the people in them, every blessed one – Anne of Green Gables, Heidi, Jay Gatsby, Elizabeth Bennet, Scarlet O'Hara, Dill and Scout, Miss Marple, and Hercule Poirot – were more real than the real people I knew.

Maybe everyone stays the same inside, even when their life looks nothing like what they once had, or even imagined.
