“We grant men a right to solitude, why can't we do the same for women? I exist more complete in it.”
Heidi Sopinka, The Dictionary of Animal Languages

“So much of making something out of life comes from the physical world, from really looking at everything. The smell after rain, trees illuminated in a storm, the sound of a screen door, the first star, all the things that compose your existence moment to moment. It forces you to live in the present, which is the only thing I've ever known to stop the sinking fear of death.”
Heidi Sopinka, The Dictionary of Animal Languages

“We are so rarely left alone to love what we want to love, I say. Happiness comes from accepting the world the way it is. I've worked against this notion my whole life.”
Heidi Sopinka, The Dictionary of Animal Languages

“He knows I am a lifelong insomniac. How profound working into the night has been. It always strikes me how odd it is that we live with such divisions, that we spend half our lives lying down, in blackout.”
Heidi Sopinka, The Dictionary of Animal Languages

“I feel joy and sorrow at once. Thinking for the first time how a work of art contains the unknown thoughts of the artist, and how everyone looking at this world will never know what was in him when this was made. Even me.”
Heidi Sopinka, The Dictionary of Animal Languages
