Quotes by Noy Holland  (?)

“Bird misses everything at once. One thing makes her want all the others— lived or not, still she misses them. She misses lives she has never lived— days issued out of the future , hours that will never be.”
Noy Holland, Bird

“Wanting so mostly rarely withstands the presence of the thing we want.
Say why.”
Noy Holland, Bird

“You know why?" Suzie says. "Because it's autumn. The leaves are falling. The woods open up. Anytime things are moving out, you're in love with moving in.”
Noy Holland, Bird
