“Don't sleep with the dead. You're not one of them, after all.”
― Nghi Vo, Don't Sleep with the Dead

“I am made of memories.”
― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

“He wants to feel good, he always used to feel good at every turning of the year, every vacation or end of vacation, every new sheet on the calendar: but his adult life has proved to have no seasons, only changes of weather, and the older he gets, the less weather interests him. The house next to his old house still has the FOR SALE sign up. He tries his front door”
― John Updike, Rabbit Redux

“There is a golden sheen that sits over my memories of St. Paul, for all that they are not really mine. It insists that the Midwest is more genteel, more innocent, but of course that is a lie. You could destroy yourself anywhere. You could kill yourself anywhere.”
― Nghi Vo, Don't Sleep with the Dead
