Quote

When you've lost a baby, everyone around you expects you to be fine once the new baby is born, as though that somehow takes away the pain of losing the first child. I needed to express how wrong that was.

Every time I took a long leave from home, I felt as if I were going to conquer the world. Or rather, take possession of what is my birthright, my inheritance.

I leave from where the apostle arrived.

I had looked forward so eagerly to leaving the horrible place, yet when my release came and I knew that God's sunlight was to be free for me again, there was a certain pain in leaving.

I believe when I leave this earth, because I love the Lord, I am going straight to Heaven.

I'm always sad to leave paradise, but I leave behind the hopes of coming again soon.

I was born when you kissed me. I died when you left me. I lived a few weeks while you loved me.

I plainly felt that, had God given me such a retirement with the companion I desired, I should have forgotten the work for which I was born and have set up my rest in this world.

I was born with a romantic nature, and I'll carry it to my grave.
