Book cover for The Collected Regrets of Clover
There may be almost nine million people living here, but New York is a city of lonely people full of regrets. It’s my job to make their final moments a little less lonesome.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“Happy are the lands of the North whose seasons are poets, the summer composing a legend of snow, the winter a tale of sun. Sad the tropics, where in the sweating-room nothing changes very much.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand And Stars

Hua Hsu
“We weren’t in search of answers. These weren’t debates to be won: certainty was boring. We were in search of patterns that would bring the world into focus. We craved new contexts, initiating routines that might eventually feel second nature.”
Hua Hsu, Stay True: A Memoir

“At such moments it was the thought of the security offered by a regular even though an unpleasant life, the spirit which dooms the canary bird to its caged existence, a natural tendency to follow the line of least resistance, that predominated. On the other hand, standing in the ranks at morning roll call and seeing Batian beckoning me with its shimmering glaciers, I sometimes felt like running away on the spot, to seek and to meet adventure halfway. We poor mortals are made like this, a mixture of contrasts, shade and light, fears and exaltations.”
Felice Benuzzi, No Picnic on Mount Kenya: The Story of Three POWs' Escape to Adventure

“If you’re ever going to do anything that’s important to you, do it now. This is the only time you have to do everything you ever wanted to do. Don’t save anything for the future. The future is now.”
Jeff Smoot, Hangdog Days: Conflict, Change, and the Race for 5.14

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“Moving from one room to the next I inhaled in passing that incense of an old library which is worth all the perfumes of the world.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars
