Kim Stanley Robinson
“Life—what was it? So deep and important and full of feeling, so crucial, then suddenly just a blink, a mayfly moment and gone. Nothing really, in the grander scheme; and no grander scheme either. No. A vertiginous perch, the bedside chair in a hospice.”
Kim Stanley Robinson, The Ministry for the Future

Lisa Goich
“I wonder if my first breath was as soul-stirring to my mother as her last breath was to me”
Lisa Goich-Andreadis, 14 Days: A Mother, A Daughter, A Two Week Goodbye
