Quotations from the book

Where Things Come Back

John Corey Whaley

Your mind has a way of not letting you forget things you wish you could. Especially with people. Like, you'll always try your best to forget things that people say to you or about you, but you always remember. And you'll try to forget things you've seen that no one should see, but you just can't do it.

—John Corey Whaley in Where Things Come Back

I can't seem to be a pessimist long enough to overlook the possibility of things being overwhelmingly good.

—John Corey Whaley in Where Things Come Back
