Moments Quotes
-

There are moments of despair that come sometimes, when night sets in and a white fog presses against the windows. Then our house changes its shape, rears up and becomes a place of despair.

There isn't any pain I haven't known.

And sometimes in the moments right before sleep came, he wondered if he was destined to be alone forever.
Nicholas Sparks
