21 " It's amazing how beauty can mask so many flaws "

23 " Humans rarely look back to the past, until they have made the same mistake! "
24 " We all make decisions as though we will live forever. "
25 " Each of us thinks that our own mistake is the worst, because we have made it. We all live with guilt for our actions, Maia. Especially if we have chosen to keep them inside us for as long as you have. I’m sitting here feeling only sadness for you, not disapproval. And I really think that anyone else who heard your story would feel the same. It’s only you who blames yourself. "
26 " Once you have made a decision and there is no turning back, acceptance is the only comfort. "
― Lucinda Riley
27 " ...at some point, you have to make the decision between losing the person you love and your own sanity. "
― Lucinda Riley , The Storm Sister (The Seven Sisters #2)
28 " And what's wrong with dimming the harsh reality of life a little, anyway? In essence, being alive is a bloody long and hard walk to death. Why not make it as pleasant along the way as you can? "
― Lucinda Riley , The Lavender Garden
29 " Nature nourishes the soul "
30 " Physical comfort--materialism, if you like--is the enemy of any serious spirituality, I think. When we're warm and well fed, our souls can be empty and we still make it through the day. And as I've discovered recently, it is the greatest poverty of all. "
― Lucinda Riley , The Midnight Rose
31 " I wish that you will find love. It is the only thing in life that makes the pain of being alive bearable. "
32 " Because -' she looked up at Bill and gave him a smile that lit up her face, granting him a sudden flash of her true beauty - 'love never die, Mister Bill. It never die. "
― Lucinda Riley , The Orchid House
33 " Everything has its natural balance, and how would you know you were happy it you weren't sad sometimes? Or feel healthy if you were never ill? "
34 " ...much of the irritation people feel at personal observations was usually because there was a grain of truth in them. "
35 " Negative thought brings negative action. "
― Lucinda Riley , The Pearl Sister (The Seven Sisters #4)
36 " Remember that panic stifles your instincts and makes you blind. "
37 " And remember, someone once told me that life only throws at you what it feels you can deal with. "
38 " I'd Like to See-----------------I'd like to see the redOf the roses in full bloom.I'd like to see the silver Of sun's reflection on the moon.I'd like to see the blueOf the ocean when it's roaring.I'd like to see the brownOf the eagle when it's soaring.I'd like to see the purpleOf grapes hanging on the vine.I'd like to see the yellowOf the sun in summertime.I'd like to see the russet Of the chestnuts on the tree.I'd like to see the facesOf those that smile at me. "
39 " I am at the stage of my life everyone dreads - that of filling my days with the past, because there is little future left. "
40 " for every one bad apple, there are thousands more whose hearts are full of kindness. "
