I adore this quote...a much more eloquent way to say that you should be careful of what you wish for. Beautiful & heartbreaking book as well. Enjoy the quote! And I wish everyone a wonderful & warm holiday season;0)

"Wishes…are tricky things, sly even. Precise wording is required. Figurative speech should be avoided. Being specific about date, time, and location is of the utmost importance."

From “The Book of Salt” Monique Truong

This is great. I call them prayers and it's true you have to be careful. They do come true. maharba · 2011-12-14: 10:36
