“We breathe love in and we breathe love out. It's the essence of our existence, the very air of our souls.”
― William Kent Krueger, This Tender Land

“The fact that so many thoughts could have gone through my head in 3.36 seconds is testament to the infinitude of an individual consciousness. There is no end to it, no way to measure it. Consciousness is like the cosmos multiplied by the number of people alive in the world (assuming that consciousness dies when we do, and it may not) because each of our minds is a cosmos of its own: unknowable, even to ourselves.”
― Jennifer Egan, The Candy House

“There is a deeper hurt than anything sustained by the body, and it's the wounding of the soul. It's the feeling that you've been abandoned by everyone, even God. It's the most alone you'll ever be. A wounded body heals itself, but there is a scar.”
― William Kent Krueger, This Tender Land

“Everything that’s been done to us we carry forever.”
― William Kent Krueger, This Tender Land
