Quotes by Ben Shattuck  (?)

“Is this why a parent’s death is so devastating? That of all the witnesses lined up in your life, losing a parent is losing the biggest one, the one who drummed you up out of nowhere and saw you, and saw you, and saw you?”
Ben Shattuck, Six Walks: In the Footsteps of Henry David Thoreau

“But you should have a little pain in your life—humans are meant to have a little pain. Endings, I suppose, like seasons, like winters. That’s where all the good stuff is. Ripped apart, so you can feel the mending. There’s nothing like it. I wouldn’t wish an uneventful life on my worst enemy.”
Ben Shattuck, The History of Sound: Stories

“The history of sound, lost daily. I’ve started to think of Earth as a wax cylinder; the sun the needle, laid on the land and drawing out the day’s music—the sound of people arguing, cooking, laughing, singing, moaning, crying, flirting. And behind that, a silent sweep of millions of sleeping people, washing across the Earth like static.”
