Quotes by Carissa Foo (?)

“All the while I was looking for an outline. Something to give shape to the absence. But Clare wasn't a few lines we could string together to fill in the blanks in our mind. Hers was a life, and like all lives, there are holes to let the light in and holes to let the light out.”

“Books do not forget; they are records of life, some lived, and many that could have been lived.”
