― Laura Barnard, Adventurous Proposal

“Our dogs see us at our best and at our worst, and love us with unparalleled devotion through it all. We share our lives with them. They know our deepest, darkest secrets, things that sometimes our closest human confidants don’t even know. No one should feel ashamed for caring for another being, for feeling heartbroken when a friend is gone. What is more “normal” than love?”
― Meg Donohue, Dog Crazy

“One of the few things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better.”
― Annie Dillard, The Writing Life

“I waited for the feeling of heaviness to leave my brain. I wondered if you could ever out-run your thoughts and leave them behind in a pile of gravel on the pavement for someone else to sweep up. I ran and I ran.”
― Amy Bratley, The Girls' Guide to Homemaking
