Mandy Aftel
“Smell is an invitation to a journey: it allows us to leave the ordinary course of things and go on a trip, to absent ourselves.”
Mandy Aftel, Fragrant: The Secret Life of Scent

Mahmoud Darwish
“Fame is the enemy of instinct and spontaneity, the difference between what is said and what ought to be said, and the transformation of one person into two”
Mahmoud Darwish, A River Dies of Thirst: Journals

Henrik Ibsen
“Helmer: Just think how a guilty man like that has to lie and play the hypocrite with every one, how he has to wear a mask in presence of those near and dear to him, even before his own wife and children. And about the children--that is the most terrible part of it all, Nora.
Nora: How?
Helmer: Because such an atmosphere of lies infects and poisons the whole life of a home. Each breath the children take in such a house is full of the germs of evil.”
Henrik Ibsen, A Doll's House

Lauren Bacall
“Stop for a moment and ponder on the silliness of it. You spend a good part of your adult life acquiring things, building a home, filling it with objects that please your eye and make you feel comfortable. Then you spend the last part of your life trying to figure out how to get rid of it all.”
Lauren Bacall, Now

Pete Hamill
“The cause of death was always life. Across many years now, he had comforted people he knew would soon die. He hoped his consoling whispers would do them no harm. He hoped too that he could reduce their immediate pain. But he could not carry them around in his head like luggage. He had to examine with all the intensity he could muster, do what he could, avoid harm, and then forget them.”
Pete Hamill, North River
