Edward Hirsch
“I did not know the work of mourning
Is like carrying a bag of cement
Up a mountain at night

The mountaintop is not in sight
Because there is no mountaintop
Poor Sisyphus grief

I did not know I would struggle
Through a ragged underbrush
Without an upward path

...

Look closely and you will see
Almost everyone carrying bags
Of cement on their shoulders

That’s why it takes courage
To get out of bed in the morning
And climb into the day.”
Edward Hirsch, Gabriel: A Poem

Natalie Lloyd
“The way he said her name made my heart cramp. In all my years of word collecting, I've learned this to be a tried and true fact: I can very often tell how much a person loves another person by the way they say their name. I think that's one of the best feelings in the world, when you know your name is safe in another person's mouth. When you know they'll never shout it out like a cuss word, but say it or whisper it like a once-upon-a-time.”
Natalie Lloyd, A Snicker of Magic

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“The classroom was a jail of other people’s interests. The library was open, unending, free.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates

Rupi Kaur
“Our backs tell stories
no books have the spine to carry”
Rupi Kaur

Nina Sankovitch
“The only balm to sorrow is memory; the only salve for the pain of losing someone to death is acknowledging the life that existed before.”
Nina Sankovitch, Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading
