Dean Koontz
“Home is where the heart is. No, nothing quite as simple as that. Home is where you struggle, in a world of endless struggle, to become the best you can be, and it becomes home in your heart only if one day you can look back and say that, in spite of all your faults and failures, it was in this special place where you began to see, however dimly, the shape of your soul.”
Dean Koontz, Ashley Bell

Adam  Johnson
“Cancer is the worst way for a fictional wife to die.”
Adam Johnson, Fortune Smiles

Gabrielle Zevin
“We are not quite novels.
We are not quite short stories.
In the end, we are collected works.”
Gabrielle Zevin, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

Adam  Johnson
“that feeling of being alone and together at the same time.”
Adam Johnson, Fortune Smiles

Jan-Philipp Sendker
“And so there must be in life something like a catastrophic turning point, when the world as we know it ceases to exist. A moment that transforms us into a different person from one heartbeat to the next. The moment when a lover confesses that there's someone else and that he's leaving. Or the day we bury a father or mother or best friend. Or the moment when the doctor informs us of a malignant brain tumor.

Or are such moments merely the dramatic conclusions of lengthier processes, conclusions we could have foreseen if we had only read the portents rather than disregarding them?

And if these turning points are real, are we aware of them as they happen, or do we recognize the discontinuity only much later, in hindsight?”
Jan-Philipp Sendker, The Art of Hearing Heartbeats
