“We think we know who we are: that each day will wake up more or less the same person. But just as rocks are weathered, we are perpetually formed and changed by time and experience until we leave this world with not a single cell we came with.”
― M.L. Stedman, A Far-Flung Life

“And what I’m thinking is maybe it’s time to halt all human reproduction. Let God or evolution or whatever put us here in the first place start again from scratch, because this isn’t working.”
― Ron Rash, Burning Bright

“When the world throws at you nothing but stones, maybe to survive you simply become stone yourself.”
― William Kent Krueger, The River We Remember

“But I think of life rather like a long road we walk in one direction. By and large a lonesome walk out in the wildness of hills and wind. Mountains. Snow. And sometimes there is someone to come along and walk with you for a stretch, and sometimes (this is what I’m getting to) sometimes you see in the distance some lights and it heartens you, the lone house or maybe a village and you come into the warmth of that stopover and go inside.”
― Virginia Evans, The Correspondent
