what sarah said

henry on his mother's accident, from the time traveller's wife:

"But then I feel guilty for wanting to avoid the sadness; dead people need us to remember them, even if it eats us, even if all we can do is say I'm sorry until it is as meaningless as air.

Back on the street, I stand pondering. I don't want to go home. I want to be with people, I want to be be distracted."
