Sigrid Nunez
“The only thing harder than seeing yourself grow old is seeing the people you’ve loved grow old.”
Sigrid Nunez, What Are You Going Through

Sigrid Nunez
“Someone has said, When you are born into this world there are at least two of you, but going out you are on your own. Death happens to every one of us, yet it remains the most solitary of human experiences, one that separates rather than unites us.”
Sigrid Nunez, What Are You Going Through

Sigrid Nunez
“I don't know who it was, but someone, maybe or maybe not Henry James, said that there are two kinds of people in the world: those who upon seeing someone else suffering think, That could happen to me, and those who think, That will never happen to me. The first kind of people help us to endure, the second kind make life hell.”

“Youth burdened with full knowledge of just how sad and painful aging is I would not call youth at all.”
Sigrid Nunez, What Are You Going Through

Sigrid Nunez
“What if all this time we have misunderstood the story of the Tower of Babel?…What if it was not just to different tribes but to each individual human being that a separate language was given, unique as fingerprints. And, step two, to make life among humans even more strifeful and confounding, he beclouded their perception of this. So that while we might understand that there are many peoples speaking many different languages, we are fooled into thinking that everyone in our own tribe speaks the same language we do.”
Sigrid Nunez, What Are You Going Through
