Emily Grace

“Sometimes I've been going about my day, dwelling on this or that, something insignificant and ephemeral, and have been jolted out of my thoughts by a bird flying by or a face in the street or the light reaching through the clouds and have found myself wanting to hit the back button. But the moment was gone, passed irretrievably into the past, and I hadn't even been paying proper attention while it was there.”
― Jo Lloyd, Something Wonderful: Stories

“Truth flashes and shimmers like a fish in the reeds. Sometimes if you're lucky, you may grasp it.”
― Judith Heneghan, Snegurochka

“I saw the blue of the sky, it looked as if it had been hollowed out, and I think that eventually the houses will also stand like skeletons.”
― Helene Bukowski, Milchzähne

“It always made me nervous, looking for something that someone already sees. It's like you have to find it quickly, lest they think you foolish, and there is that odd sensation while they are waiting for your eyes to capture what theirs have already seized.”
― Courtney Maum, Costalegre
