“Alone I wandered between worlds, the objective world of species, natural history and names, and the subjective world of symbols and signs.”
Eva Saulitis, Into Great Silence: A Memoir of Discovery and Loss among Vanishing Orcas

“The only way to be changed is to let another being (or place) completely in, to love with a wild, dangerous abandon, knowing the outline of the hole it will make is already being formed.”
Eva Saulitis, Becoming Earth

“Maybe this is the beginning of healing, the repeated lick of the tide, like an animal worrying a wound clean and raw.”
Eva Saulitis, Into Great Silence: A Memoir of Discovery and Loss among Vanishing Orcas
