Book cover for Tartufo

Geneen Roth
“For some reason, we are truly convinced that if we criticize ourselves, the criticism will lead to change. If we are harsh, we believe we will end up being kind. If we shame ourselves, we believe we end up loving ourselves. It has never been true, not for a moment, that shame leads to love. Only love leads to love.”
Geneen Roth

Samantha Harvey
“How are we writing the future of humanity? We're not writing anything, it's writing us. We're windblown leaves. We think we're the wind, but we're just the leaf.”
Samantha Harvey, Orbital

Tennessee Williams
“The world is violent and mercurial--it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love--love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love.”
Tennessee Williams

“The writer's business is to find the shape in unruly life and to serve her story.”

Isabel Allende
“although they knew this was a mere formality. Victor felt relieved: if one lives long enough, circles close.”
