Quotes from the Book
She lifted her head. "It's easier," she said, slowly, "to be angry on someone else's behalf than on my own. And yet I find I have a well of anger in me, that I have been filling for years from my own hurts. If I spill it out in defense of another, I can deny it's mine.

I see the light at the end of the candle.
It's better to be happy than comfortable, if you can't have both.
