Book cover for The Great Believers
“It’s always a matter, isn’t it, of waiting for the world to come unraveled? When things hold together, it’s always only temporary.”

“Even if what he says is true, I think it’s still a victory,” she said. “Because she won on this day, with this particular set of people. We can never know what else might have happened had other competitors been there. The Russian girls could have won, or they could have gotten jet-lagged and choked.” Anna shrugged. “And this is the truth of any game—it can only exist at the moment that it is being played. It’s the same with being an actor. In the end, all we can ever know is the game that was played, in the only world that we know.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Sarah Addison Allen
“I can’t hold on to the past and grab for the future at the same time. I have to choose. Eventually, we all have to choose.”
Sarah Addison Allen, Other Birds

Victor LaValle
“Here’s an interesting moment in any friendship. That time when one person has revealed something essential about themselves and the other must decide if they can accept it.”
Victor LaValle, Lone Women

Angeline Boulley
“the New Normal, which is what I call what happens when your universe is shaken so badly you can never regain the same axis as before. But you try anyway”
Angeline Boulley, Firekeeper's Daughter

“I view science and faith as totally compatible parts of life. To me, science is the process of testing theory in order to understand the inner workings of our world and the human body. Faith is simply a peaceful relationship with the inevitable uncertainty that arises when we don’t have all the answers.”
Dr Jill Carnahan, Unexpected: Finding Resilience through Functional Medicine, Science, and Faith
