destiny

Destiny may be a river that spans time, which can cut off all misses, all love, all things that you have cherished and have not yet cherished.

Fate may be a sea with no other shore, and we can only find our own farthest end point on the wreck that is stranded on this shore. There is no home for the waves, and no tombstone for the stars.

Destiny is that I pass you, and it is that I miss you.

Fate is the ends of the earth.

Destiny waits quietly, waiting for you to stop smiling, for you to stop crying, and for you to accept it, no matter how it is, like accepting yourself the life you have been given.

Never Let Me Go quotes

  • Kathy: It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. If I'd known, maybe I'd have kept tighter hold of them and not let unseen tides pull us apart.

  • [first lines]

    Kathy: My name is Kathy H. I'm 28 years old. I've been a carer for nine years. And I'm good at my job. My patients always do better than expected, and are hardly ever classified as agitated, even if they're about to make a donation. I'm not trying to boast, but I feel a great sense of pride in what we do. Carers and donors have achieved so much. That said, we aren't machines. In the end it wears you down. I suppose that's why I now spend most of my time not looking forwards, but looking back, to The Cottages and Hailsham, and what happened to us there. Me. Tommy. And Ruth.
