Audrey Niffenegger
“When I was young I didn't understand, but now, I know, how absence can be present, like a damaged nerve, like a dark bird.”
Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

Karen Harrington
“How you can already miss someone when you are in the same room with them, I have no idea. But I do.”
Karen Harrington, Sure Signs of Crazy

“And I think missing you hurts the most when something funny happens. Because in that one moment I find myself laughing, and within the next second I want to tell or text you what happened. And then it hits me again, every single time, that you aren’t there anymore. That I lost that one thing that mattered to me.”
Elisabeth Van den Abeele

Kaui Hart Hemmings
“We walk until there aren't more houses, all the way to the part of the beach where the current makes the waves come in then rush back out so that the two waves clash, water casting up like a geyser. We watch that for a while and then Scottie says, "I wish Mom was here." I'm thinking the exact same thought. That's how you know you love someone, I guess, when you can't experience anything without wishing the other person were there to see it, too. Every day I kept track of anecdotes, occurrences, and gossip, bullet-pointing the news in my head and even rehearsing my stories before telling them to Joanie in bed at night.”
Kaui Hart Hemmings, The Descendants

“But nothing makes a room feel emptier than wanting someone in it.”
Calla Quinn, All the Time
