If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: in love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are.

As mothers and daughters, we are connected with one another. My mother is the bones of my spine, keeping me straight and true. She is my blood, making sure it runs rich and strong. She is the beating of my heart. I cannot now imagine a life without her.

Love. It was the beginning and end of everything, the foundation and the ceiling and the air in between.

Loreda didn't want the kind of love that trapped. She wanted to be told she could fly high, be anything and go anywhere.

İnsanlar giderdi ve eğer çok derinden, şiddetle severseniz onların ani ve hızlı gidişleri ruhunuzun derinliklerine kadar ürpermenize neden olurdu.

It isn’t about being at the same school or the same town or even the same room. It’s about being together. Love is a choice you make.

Do you love him?"How would I know?"You'd know.

There was something she hadn't known when she went into marriage and became a mother that she knew now: it was only possible to live without love when you'd never known it.

We fought, we struggled, we hurt each other, so what? That's what love is, I think. It's all of it - the dust, the drought, the fights with you - never once did I stop loving you or Ant or the farm.
