Quotes from Grace King

Every life holds that which only a miracle can cure.

The heart and the almanac never agree about time.

The past is our only real possession in life. It is the one piece of property of which time cannot deprive us; it is our own in a way that nothing else in life is. In a word, we are our past; we do not cling to it, it clings to us.

We wander through old streets, and pause before the age stricken houses; and, strange to say, the magic past lights them up.
