Katherine May
“I love the inconvenience the same way that I sneakingly love a bad cold: the irresistible disruption to mundane life, forcing you to stop for a while and step outside your normal habits. I love the visual transformation it brings about, that recolouring of the world into sparkling white, the way that the rules change so that everybody says hello as they pass. I love what it does to the light, the purplish clouds that loom before it descends, and the way it announces itself from behind your curtains in the morning, glowing a diffuse whiteness that can only mean snow. Heading out in a snowstorm to catch the flakes on my gloves, I love the feeling of it fresh underfoot. I am rarely childlike and playful except in snow. It swings me into reverse gear.”
Katherine May, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

Lionel Shriver
“Plots set in the future are about what people fear in the present.”
Lionel Shriver, The Mandibles: A Family, 2029–2047

Jacqueline Woodson
“Some evenings I don't know where the old pains end and the new ones begin. Feels like the older you get the more they run into one long, deep aching.”
Jacqueline Woodson, Red at the Bone

Katherine May
“Snow creates that quality of awe in the face of a power greater than ours. It epitomises the aesthetic notion of the sublime, in which greatness and beauty couple to overcome you—a small, frail human—entirely.”
Katherine May, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

“Satisfaction is not found in the big achievements. It’s not in winning. Starring has nothing to do with how big your part is—it’s a state of mind.”
Lauren Graham, In Conclusion, Don't Worry About It
