The Spies of Shilling Lane

Top 10 Best Quotes
“Grief feels a lot like fear. We’re afraid of it taking us over. But we owe it to ourselves, to those we have lost, to let grief in. Only then can we start to remember them with a cheer in our heart, a cheer for them and all that they were.”
“That’s it! That’s the measure of success, isn’t it?” “What is?” “The amount that you love and are loved. It’s love – don’t you see?”
“Sometimes you have to feel grateful for what you have, see the good, and only the good. We only have one life. One chance for happiness. And sometimes we forget that we can actually choose whether we want joy or cynicism. Let’s pick joy.”
“I realize that death isn’t the part of life to fear the most. It is the fear of not living up to our true potential.”
“Why do people get so caught up in their own senseless struggle for status that they forget to enjoy the beauty in others?”
“When people you care for die, something inside changes, and you become a different person. Some say that you take on a part of them yourself, that everything you loved about them is enveloped within you, that you have a responsibility to keep them alive in your heart, whatever it takes.”
“Love is the most crucial thing we have. Above reputation, above beauty, above our kindest actions.”
“How easy it was to miss these moments, looking forward or backward instead of just sitting, feeling, experiencing.”
“Cherish your love, for those who are with us and those who are gone. Just because they’re not here, it doesn’t mean that we love them any the less.”
“But sometimes we need to mull everything over, find out what we really feel, or think, or believe. Sometimes, if you don’t think about big things that happen in our lives – people close to you dying and so forth – it gets bottled up inside. One day you might just explode.”
