“The most significant conversations of our lives occur in silence.”
― Simon Van Booy, Love Begins in Winter: Five Stories

“The conversations rests uneasily; one doesn't expect good-byes to be burdened by such trivialities. This is not how it is in the books, he thinks, or in the theater, and he feels the need to speak of mission, of duty, of love. They reach home and close the door and he doesn't drop her hand. Where speech fails, touch compensates.”
― Daniel Mason, The Piano Tuner

“You were unsure which pain is worse -- the shock of what happened or the ache for what never will.”
― Simon Van Booy, Everything Beautiful Began After

“Here is the riddle of love: Everything it gives to you, it takes away.”
― Alice Hoffman, The Dovekeepers
