Quotes by Beth Ann Fennelly (?)

“Already I was learning that some of the things I was learning weren’t things I’d need to know.”
― Beth Ann Fennelly, Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs

“But remember that reading provides nourishment for hungers we might not even be aware of. How often have I chosen a book at random and found in it an answer I didn't realize I was seeking.”
― Beth Ann Fennelly, Great with Child: Letters to a Young Mother

“Do you remember in How the Grinch Stole Christmas! when the Grinch is alone on the mountain after plundering the Christmas of the Whos down below, and his heart swells to three times its normal size? That's the other thing that happens when you become a mom. You feel more deeply. You become capable of a raw, scary fullness of emotion that tenderizes the hardened muscle of the heart. And it endangers you. Because you feel for other people's suffering more than you used to, especially for the suffering of children, as if the love you bear for your child is so outsized that it can't be contained but splashes out into the world, your salty tears brimming the salty oceans.”
― Beth Ann Fennelly, Great with Child: Letters to a Young Mother
