“I felt I couldn't lose anything else, but just then I realized I already had: I'd lost the hope that I would ever be loved in just that way again.”
Melissa Bank, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing

“We are all children until our fathers die.”
Melissa Bank, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing

“You will say good-bye for all the right reasons. You're tired of living in wait for his apocalypse. You have your own fight on your hands, and though it's no bigger or more noble than his, it will require all of your energy.

It's you who has to hold on to earth. You have to tighten your grip -- which means letting go of him.”
Melissa Bank, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing
