Anthony Doerr
“The things that look fixed in the world, child—mountains, wealth, empires—their permanence is only an illusion. We believe they will last, but that is only because of the brevity of our own lives. From the perspective of God, cities like this come and go like anthills.”

“Sometimes the things we think are lost are only hidden, waiting to be rediscovered.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Elizabeth Strout

Lily King
“There’s a particular feeling in your body when something goes right after a long time of things going wrong. It feels warm and sweet and loose.

Lily King, Writers & Lovers
