“Childhood - even a sad childhood - eventually becomes a place we think we've dreamed or stumbled across and want to find again but never can.”
― Rachel Klein, The Moth Diaries

“The flights were hijacked, the planes crashed into buildings, 2,977 people died, and the nineties collapsed with the skyscrapers.”
― Chuck Klosterman, The Nineties

“You can’t come back to something that is gone.”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory

“They will all vanish at the same time, like the millions of images that lay behind the foreheads of the grandparents, dead for half a century, and of the parents, also dead. Images in which we appeared as a little girl in the midst of beings who died before we were born, just as in our own memories our small children are there next to our parents and schoolmates. And one day we’ll appear in our children’s memories, among their grandchildren and people not yet born. Like sexual desire, memory never stops. It pairs the dead with the living, real with imaginary beings, dreams with history.”
― Annie Ernaux, Les Années
