Sarah Ockler quotes:

Weeping is not the same thing as crying. It takes your whole body to weep, and when it's over, you feel like you don't have any bones left to hold you up.

Beneath the vast diamond sky, I felt both all important and utterly significant, the goddess and the damned in equal measure.

There was no going back to the way things were, because all you ever got was the way things are.

Every morning, I wake up and forget just for a second that it happened. But once my eyes open, it buries me like a landslide of sharp, sad rocks. Once my eyes open, I'm heavy, like there's to much gravity on my heart.

I really don't even know you, and yet, in my life, you are forever entangled; to my history, inextricably bound.

Would 'sorry' have made any difference? Does it ever? It's just a word. One word against a thousand actions.

Because maybe Watonka was only ever supposed to be a temporary stopover, and maybe I will chase that train over the hill, and maybe we're all destined to leave this place, for sure, for real, together or alone. But for right now, we're here.
