" Some are easy to love, ” I tell him quietly, “because they shine so brightly it’s diffcult to look away. But others…. We don’t love them any less, Baylor. Because they are steadfast and true. They are solid rock beside quicksilver, but they will not break when quicksilver is too soft. It is a different kind of love. Steadier, perhaps. "
