“Sometimes, overwhelmed, she retreats into the forests of the past. She has come to think of them as her private Archive, herself as Archivist, and she had found that the only way to understand the world as something other than a tale of loss is to see it as a tale of change.”
Daniel Mason, North Woods

Sarah Addison Allen
“As the trolley pulled back in front of the building on Trade Street about an hour after it had left, Charlotte thought she understood why she loved this place so much, too, why it spoke so strongly to her, and probably Zoey, and countless others. Mallow Island had reinvented itself over and over. And just like the candy itself, no one here had to be made up of what they used to.”
Sarah Addison Allen, Other Birds

Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
“In the center of the complicated nexus of adores and hated, desired but also easy to watch being destroyed, it had to be a Black woman.”
Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Chain-Gang All-Stars

“Children, dont hold on to old love so hard you forget to live. Old love isn’t the only love you’ll ever have. And I can tell you from this side that it never really goes away, anyway.”
Sarah Addison Allen, Other Birds

Matt Haig
“In every life there is a moment. A crisis. One that says: what I believe is wrong. It happens to everyone, the only difference is how that knowledge changes them. In most cases, it is simply a case of burying that knowledge and pretending it isn’t there. That is how humans grow old. That is ultimately what creases their faces and curves their backs and shrinks their mouths and ambitions. The weight of that denial. The stress of it. This is not unique to humans. The single biggest act of bravery or madness anyone can do is the act of change.

I was something. And now I am something else.”
Matt Haig, The Humans
