Significant Quotations
And it may be that love sometimes occurs without pain or misery
MOW
- It is possible for bad situations to turn out okay
- Anything is possible
- People can fail in some environments and thrive in others.
To refresh, here is the last paragraph of the book:
For if Jack Buggit could escape from the pickle jar, if a bird with a broken neck could fly
away, what else might be possible? Water may be older than light, diamonds crack in hot goats
blood, mountaintops give off cold fire, forests appear in mid-ocean, it may happen that a crab is
caught with the shadow of a hand on its back, that the wind be imprisoned in a bit of knotted
string. And it may be that love sometimes occurs without pain or misery.
