Durga Chew-Bose
“Change, I've come to understand, rises up like nausea: the promise of relief is what makes it bearable.”
Durga Chew-Bose, Too Much and Not the Mood: Essays

James O'Barr
“Remember when you said "Mine?" and I said "Forever". You said "Only forver?" It's forever, now.”
James O'Barr, The Crow

Mary Oliver
“Attention is the beginning of devotion.”
Mary Oliver, Upstream: Selected Essays

Mary Oliver
“Sometimes the desire to be lost again, as long ago, comes over me like a vapor. With growth into adulthood, responsibilities claimed me, so many heavy coats. I didn’t choose them, I don’t fault them, but it took time to reject them. Now in the spring I kneel, I put my face into the packets of violets, the dampness, the freshness, the sense of ever-ness. Something is wrong, I know it, if I don’t keep my attention on eternity. May I be the tiniest nail in the house of the universe, tiny but useful. May I stay forever in the stream. May I look down upon the windflower and the bull thistle and the coreopsis with the greatest respect.”
Mary Oliver, Upstream: Selected Essays

Madeline Miller
“He was another knife I could feel it. A different sort, but a knife still. I did not care. I thought: give me the blade. Some things are worth spilling blood for.”
Madeline Miller, Circe
