“How we gentle our losses into paler ghosts.”
― Peter Heller, The Dog Stars

“we can proceed in our lives just as easily from love to love as from loss to loss. A good thing to remember in the middle of the night when you’re not sure how you will get through the next three breaths.”
― Peter Heller, The Painter

“I cannot pretend to be the person they think I am for one more day. Slowly, over time, like wallpaper, the face I have shown the world has peeled away. I am a building on the brink of being condemned. I have tried for the longest time to hide it. To show only the best sides of myself in the most flattering light at the best time of the day.”
― Juliann Garey, Too Bright to Hear Too Loud to See

“We are all of us - well, with the exception of people who have just fallen in love and those lucky demented few who see life's glass as three quarters full - we are just getting by.”
― Juliann Garey, Too Bright to Hear Too Loud to See
