Julia’s Quotes

“It’s not only themselves that the dead take away. They take a part of us, too: when living, they are inside us, and without them we carry a vacant space.”

“When someone you love dies, you lose them in pieces over time, but you also get them back in pieces: little fragments of memory come rushing back through what they cared about, what brought them joy. If you’re lucky, you get little pieces back for the rest of your life.”
― Duchess Goldblatt, Becoming Duchess Goldblatt

“One of his many interests was a concern to establish just how many vowels and consonants the human vocal tract is capable of producing in the languages of the world. The answer is more than people think. He estimated that there were over eight hundred different consonants and some two hundred different vowels.”
― David Crystal, Walking English: A Journey in Search of Language

“Art replaces the light that is lost when the day fades, the moment passes, the evanescent extraordinary makes its quicksilver. Art tries to capture that which we know leaves us, as we move in and out of each other’s lives, as we all must eventually leave this earth. Great artists know that shadow, work always against the dying light, but always knowing that the day brings new light and that the ocean which washes away all traces on the sand leaves us a new canvas with each wave.”
― Elizabeth Alexander, The Light of the World
