1 " Even the brave were once afraid. However well I might hide it, the truth is, I am terrified. "
― Hazel Gaynor , The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter
2 " There will always be someone willing to save us, Grace. Even a stranger whose name we don’t know. That is the very best of humanity. That is what puts my mind at ease on a day like today. "

4 " When I open my eyes, Cora is there. She takes my hand and together we become the fragments of light captured on the surface of the water, carried eternally on by the tides. "
5 " No matter how many charts and maps we study, or how cleverly we believe ourselves able to interpret the change in atmosphere or the shape of the clouds or the movement of the waves, we can never truly know what the day will bring; cannot plan for every eventuality. Only as each dreadful misfortune or delightful surprise unfolds can we choose how to respond; fleeting decisions made in an instant but which carry an echo across a lifetime. "
6 " I know you will never forget what happened, but sometimes a different view in the morning, a different shape to the day, can help to heal even the deepest wounds. "
