Emily St. John Mandel
“There’s a low-level, specific pain in having to accept that putting up with you requires a certain generosity of spirit in your loved ones.”
Emily St. John Mandel, Sea of Tranquility

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
Rumi

Lucy Grealy
“I began a lifelong affair with nostalgia, with only the vaguest notions of what I was nostalgic for.”
Lucy Grealy

Stephanie Foo
“Forgiveness is this act of love where you say to someone, ‘You’re an imperfect being and I still love you.’ You want to have this energy of ‘We’re not giving up on each other; we’re in this for the long haul. You hurt me. And, yes, I hurt you. And I’m sorry, but you’re still mine.’ ”
Stephanie Foo, What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma

Emily St. John Mandel
“My point is, there’s always something. I think, as a species, we have a desire to believe that we’re living at the climax of the story. It’s a kind of narcissism. We want to believe that we’re uniquely important, that we’re living at the end of history, that now, after all these millennia of false alarms, now is finally the worst that it’s ever been, that finally we have reached the end of the world.”
Emily St. John Mandel, Sea of Tranquility
