It seems like our town has closed down these days leading up to the funeral. Old people still sit on their porches and talk, but their conversations aren't sprinkled with laughter anymore. Since the new, little kids haven't played outside, as if their moms are afraid someone might snatch them out of their yards and send them off to war.Kimberly Willis Holt
About This Quote
If you are in a dead-end job, if your relationships are failing, if you have no support in life, if you have no money in the bank, if you are not in school or college, or if you are being bullied or abused, you might feel depressed. The simple fact is that life is full of ups and downs. While it is true that life can be tough at times, it can also be quite rewarding. The point that author Kristin Hannah was trying to make in this quote is that when things are good they are great, but when they are bad they can be even better.
