Rebecca Makkai
“If he'd lived, we'd have parted ways soon enough. He'd have had a life out here in the world, outside my mind. But when someone's gone and you're the primary keeper of his memory-- letting go would be a kind of murder, wouldn't it? I had so much love for him, even if it was a complicated love, and where is all that love supposed to go? He was gone, so it couldn't change, it couldn't turn to indifference. I was stuck with all that love.”
Rebecca Makkai, The Great Believers

“I feel I stand in a desert with my hands outstretched, and you are raining down upon me.”
Patricia Highsmith, The Price of Salt

“It's been a long time since I had a day that just cuts your life in two. Like, this hangnail on my thumb, I had it yesterday. It's the same hangnail, and I'm a completely different person.”
Rebecca Makkai, The Great Believers
