"Wishes change. Right now all you want is to blend in. One day, you'll want to stand out. That's the trouble with life, you know. Hard to get the right wishes matched with the right part of your life."

You had to know that which could save you, for it could probably also kill you. You had to know it better than anyone else, every inch of it.

Homes, despite their ability to seep up the spiritual essence of lives, and their tendency to absorb and contain the energy of joy and grief, were just glass, brick, wood, and mortar. They were constructions, welded with nails and glue, like muscles and bone knit together with sinewy straps, according to a plan. No, you didn't fall in love with a home. You fell in love with the stories you told yourself about what had happened there and what you imagined could happen.

No one can say for certain whether the heart will wither like petals near seawater, or whether it will be strong, resilient, able to stave off the elements that will likely befall it.
