Donna Tartt
“A great sorrow, and one that I am only beginning to understand: we don’t get to choose our own hearts. We can’t make ourselves want what’s good for us or what’s good for other people. We don’t get to choose the people we are.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

Toshikazu Kawaguchi
“I was so absorbed in the things that I couldn’t change, I forgot the most important thing.”
Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the Coffee Gets Cold

Madeline Miller
“He is half of my soul, as the poets say.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Madeline Miller
“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Madeline Miller
“And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.”
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
