She thinks she's kept me. She would have kept me better if she had let me go now. - Orson Scott Card

Maybe if I could bear my life as it is for one day, for one hour, for one minute, I could forget my wish to be something else.

When people say perhaps it's cause they're lying. Either they don't believe the thing they're saying, or they do believe it only they don't want to admit they do.

We don't admit it to ourselves, not until the very moment of death, but in that moment, we see all life before us and we understand how we chose, every day of our lives, the manner of our death.
