Quotes from Donna Hilbert

I don't need again to learn the bitter lesson that everything I love is a flame between two fingers, no act undone, no word unsaid.

Interregnum of old life and new. Angry with you for this dislocation. I loved you in my other life.

I won't repeat the dream in which you leave me. Let's just say I know the world, how it alters in an instant, that I awaken sick in remorse and dread.
