Julia Armfield
“The first time you lose a parent, a part of you gets trapped there; trapped less in the moment of grief than in the knowledge of the end of childhood, the inevitable dwindling of the days.”
Julia Armfield, Private Rites

“our minds are shaped by the modern world but originate in nature, and we have suffered as a result of this disconnect.”
Bill Bailey, Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide to Happiness

Samantha Harvey
“Our lives here are inexpressibly trivial and momentous at once, it seems he’s about to wake up and say. Both repetitive and unprecedented. We matter greatly and not at all. To reach some pinnacle of human achievement only to discover that your achievements are next to nothing and that to understand this is the greatest achievement of any life, which itself is nothing, and also much more than everything. Some metal separates us from the void; death is so close. Life is everywhere, everywhere.”
Samantha Harvey, Orbital

Steven L. Peck
“Finite does not mean much if you can't tell any practical difference between it and infinite.”
Steven L. Peck, A Short Stay in Hell

Julia Armfield
“Phones are how people reach you, and nothing very good can come from that.”
Julia Armfield, Private Rites
