““There was a lot more that I wanted to tell her, like that everything in this beautiful treasure house of a world breaks, and sometimes things break so bad all you can do is hope to get your heart to stop bleeding long enough for you to sift through the ashes so you can try to gain some slight understanding. But some things that break real bad can be mended if you're lucky enough to have someone on your side with a ton of glue who won't give up."--Vicki Grove, Everything Breaks””
