John Knowles
“I did not cry then or ever about Finney. I did not cry even when I stood watching him being lowered into his family’s straightlaced burial ground outside of Boston. I could not escape a feeling that this was my own funeral, and you do not cry in that case.”
John Knowles, A Separate Peace

Bridget Collins
“Which was worse? To feel nothing, or to grieve for something you no longer remembered? Surely when you forgot, you’d forget to be sad, or what was the point? And yet that numbness would take part of your self away, it would be like having pins-and-needles in your soul … I took a deep breath.”
Bridget Collins, The Binding

Bridget Collins
“To have another person’s memory entrusted to you . . . To take the deepest, darkest part away from them and keep it safe, forever. To honor it, to make it beautiful, even though no one will ever see it. To guard it with your own life . . .”
Bridget Collins, The Binding

Bridget Collins
“I’d do almost anything not to have to be myself any more.”
Bridget Collins, The Binding

Hermann Hesse
“Believe me, there isn't an intonation in your voice, not a gesture, not a smile that I don't take seriously. But your thoughts I take less seriously. I take seriously all that I find essential and necessary in you. Why do you want particular attention paid to your thoughts, when you have so many other gifts?”
Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund
