“It hurts to live after someone has died. It just does. It can hurt to walk down a hallway or a open the fridge. It hurts to put on a pair of socks, to brush your teeth. Food tastes like nothing. Colors go flat. Music hurts, and so do memories. You look at something you'd otherwise find beautiful - a purple sky at sunset or a playground full of kids and it only somehow deepens the loss. Grief is so lonely this way.”
― Michelle Obama, Becoming

“Until death comes, all is life.”
― Ruskin Bond, A Little Night Music

“The surest defense against Evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality, even—if you will—eccentricity.”
― Joseph Brodsky

“We were having an absurd and inappropriate argument because in the wake of death every single thing on earth feels absurd and inappropriate.”
― Michelle Obama, Becoming
