The smell of grass, the faint chill of the wind, the line of the hills, the barking of a dog: these are the first things, and they come with absolute clarity.

― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

― Gloria E. Anzaldúa, Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza

― Raegan Robinson

“...were these Essays of mine considerable enough to deserve a critical judgment, it might then, I think, fall
out that they would not much take with common and vulgar capacities, nor be very acceptable to the singular and excellent sort of men; the first would not understand them enough, and the last too much; and so they may hover in the middle region.”
― Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays

Easily Zin’s favorite holiday, because the night was for everyone of all traditions, religions, and countries. Celebrated by anyone, anywhere, on that hour. It represented the boundary between years, this in-between time. Plus, that evening was about the moment. It was here now. Indisputably immediate.”

“with limits, you have to know which ones you are supposed to accept, and which ones you must surpass. Do not waste your time trying to find the knowledge of the universe, that is Gods place and you cannot surpass it. Do spend time getting better at what you are good at and trying out what you are bad at. Limits are either for protection, or for shattering. There is no 'in between'. If there was, I highly doubt the world would be like it is today.”
― Unicornfarts2000

“BOOKS ABOUT DEPRESSION TYPICALLY DO NOT INCLUDE A CHAPTER about when people are nearly better—what comes between the worst passing and the achievement of wellness. However, those who experience residual depression know firsthand that it can be depression’s most awkward—as well as its most precarious—phase. It is a state of limbo many times over, one that may determine the course of recovery. I remember my wife Laura asking me, “Do you want me to treat you like a sick person or a well person?” I paused because I didn’t know. Spouses, bosses, and friends who were sympathetic throughout disclosure and treatment may lose patience with making allowances. So, too, the sufferer may be done with depression, well before depression is done with him.”
― Jonathan Rottenberg, The Depths: The Evolutionary Origins of the Depression Epidemic

“When you get to the Food Hall, you eat and you drink.
You're starving by the time you arrive, so you pretty much stuff your face with everything.
Pomegranate pips. Mushroom caps. Blood-red wine.
Soda pop. Cinnabuns. Spicy Girl rolls.
This thing you had once on vacation with your parents, at a bed-and-breakfast that hasn't been there for a decade. This other thing you couldn't have eaten while you were alive, even if you wanted to, because the restaurant that makes it won't open for years.
That's the cool thing about the Food Hall. It serves, like, everything. Anything. Whatever you want. Whatever you feel. It's full of coffee shops and grocery stores and restaurants. There's bodegas and clam bakes and a whole island of cheese. Imagined places to hit up for imaginary meals. Carbon copies of your favorites from the Living world.
It's endless. All-you-can-eat. Edible Eden, basically.
And it's all there to feed you because that's the whole reason the Food Hall exists--- to nourish the spirits of the Afterlife. To help us get full so we can move On to our next lives.”
― Daria Lavelle, Aftertaste

“At the heart of the in-between, exists a timeless and infinite potential. From this place, all of who we are is created. Our reality occurs within this eternal mirror, the result of each choice made, moment to moment.”
― Pete Beebe, Dream Fisher: A Metaphysical Work of Contemporary Fiction
