Tina Traverse
“This world we live in is confusing, overwhelming and painful because he has a condition known as autism.”
Tina Traverse, Forever, Christian

Nancy E. Turner
“It is a hard thing to let your children near danger, and yet, I remember my Papa teaching me to fire a rifle before I could even hold it with my own strength. And if he hadn't trusted me to be careful, I would have never had faith in myself to do it.”
Nancy E. Turner, These Is My Words: The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine, 1881-1901, Arizona Territories

Diane Setterfield
“As is well known, when the moon hours lengthen, human beings come adrift from the regularity of their mechanical clocks. They nod at noon, dream in waking hours, open their eyes wide to the pitch-black night. It is a time of magic. And as the borders between night and day stretch to their thinnest, so too do the borders between worlds. Dreams and stories merge with lived experience, the dead and the living brush against each other in their comings and goings, the past and the present touch and overlap. Unexpected things can happen.”
Diane Setterfield, Once Upon a River

Charles Frazier
“Ada found herself wondering, What if he is killed? But she could not, of course, voice the thought. She did not have to, though, for Inman at that instant said, If I am shot to death, in five years you'll hardly remember my name.
She had not been sure if he was teasing or testing her or simply saying what he thought was the truth.
--You know it's not that way, she said.
In her heart, though, she wondered, Is anything remembered forever?”
Charles Frazier, Cold Mountain: A Novel

Robert M. Pirsig
“Anxiety, the next gumption trap, is sort of the opposite of ego. You're so sure you'll do everything wrong you're afraid to do anything at all. Often this, rather than "laziness" is the real reason you find it hard to get started”
Robert Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values
