“Animals are closer to god, of course; this is because animals have no need of god.”
Lauren Groff, Matrix

“Some kinds of news should only be given if you have a cat on hand to hug.”
Paola Peretti, The Distance Between Me and the Cherry Tree

Peter Høeg

Peter Hoeg, Smilla's Sense of Snow

Paulette Jiles
“Maybe life is just carrying news. Surviving to carry the news.

Natalie Goldberg, Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within
