“People die and maybe they leave something behind, a wristwatch or a ring or a set of silver tableware, but none of that means anything without the story. It's what keeps us here after we're gone, and we're only truly dead when those who know our stores are also dead.”
― Sarah Leipciger, Coming Up for Air

― Sarah Leipciger, Coming Up for Air

“The panic that her voice, the way she spoke, her attitude, all that was unique and specific to her, would pass into history. I wanted her to be here, and for her contributions and opinions to still be with us. That she is past tense, feels so impossible, when she was so vividly alive.”
― Mhairi McFarlane, Last Night
