“Resiliency, like a cartwheel, requires core strength and a disregard for gravity. Only one of which can be willed.”
Amy Koppelman, Hesitation Wounds

“You know what happens when you feed the birds? They forget to fly south and freeze to death.”
Amy Koppelman, I Smile Back

When she’s not being offended, not”
Amy Koppelman, I Smile Back

“Belittling nostalgia is a frightened man's parlor trick. Be grateful for any prize. Even a paper fortress, albeit briefly, provides shelter from the rain.”
Amy Koppelman, Hesitation Wounds
