"The granola bars.
It had come to this.
Miserably, he unwrapped a bar.He brought the compacted brown mass to his lips. With a heavy heart, he opened his mouth and prepared his tongue to receive the foul-tasting grunge. Then, in the nick of time, he recovered his fighting spirit.Things were bad, but not that bad. He still wasn't desperate enough to eat a granola bar.“

"I did not know the heart were like a china teacup hanging in the cupboard from a single hook, that it could chip and crack and finally smash to the ground under a boot heel.
And I did not know that even smithereens could reassemble into a heart. I did not know any of this”

“Ah, but not all dreams are true. There are two gates by which a dream may enter: one of shining ivory, one of plain horn. The dreams from the ivory gate are glimmering illusions that signify nothing. But those from the horn gate can come true – if only we know which is which!”
“There is always a way to do what you truly love.”

He opened his arms and she came to him. He held her head against his chest and he opened his eyes as wide as they would go in order to keep them dry.
