“Should you choose to denounce me, I will understand your decision. All I ask in return is that you remember this as well--that you are not alone. Whether you are suffering or feeling powerless, you stand with countless others throughout history who faced oppression and fought to hold on to the love and beauty in their lives. You are not alone; if you recall nothing else from these memories, please hold on to this feeling of solidarity, this unyielding wind carrying our dreams of a better future.
Nobody can take that away.
It belongs to us all. I promise you: it will always belong to us all.”

“I want you to know, if you ever read this, there was a time when I would rather have had you by my side than any one of these words; I would rather have had you by my side than all the blue in the world.
But now you are talking as if love were a consolation. Simone Weil warned otherwise. 'Love is not consolation,' she wrote. 'It is light.'
All right then, let me try to rephrase. When I was alive, I aimed to be a student not of longing but of light.”

“I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it's just too much. The current's too strong. They've got to let go, drift apart. That's how it is with us. It's a shame, Kath, because we've loved each other all our lives. But in the end, we can't stay together forever.”

“First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won't. Habit is persistence in practice.”

“I don't know, there's something about you. Say there's an hourglass: the sand's about to run out. Someone like you can always be counted on to turn the thing over.”
