Quotes edit see section history

• “You did not have to understood miracles to believe in them, and in fact Mabel had come to suspect the opposite. To believe, perhaps you had to cease looking for explanations and instead hold the little thing in your hands as long as you were able before it slipped like water between your fingers.”

• “"It's going to be fine, Mabel. We're just going to have to rough it here for a few more hours. Then light'll come, and we'll find our way."”

• “"Dear, sweet Mabel," she said. We never know what is going to happen, do we? Life is always throwing us this way and that. That's where the adventure is. Not knowing where you'll end up or how you'll fare. It's all a mystery, and when we say any different, we're just lying to ourselves."”
