“ If every life is a river, then it's little wonder that we do not even notice the changes that occur until we are far out in the darkest sea.

I am someone I would have never imagined. A secret. A dream. I am this, body and soul. Burn me. Drown me. Tell me lies. I will still be who I am. ”

- Alice Hoffman
