Sloane Crosley
“But there was never going to be a version of the story in which it wasn't my missing jewelry and my dead friend. You can ignore grief. You push it around your plate. But you can't give it away.”
Sloane Crosley, Grief Is for People

Richard Powers
“There are four good things worth practicing. Being kind toward everything alive. Staying level and steady. Feeling happy for any creature anywhere that is happy. And remembering that any suffering is also yours.”
Richard Powers, Bewilderment

“To be listened to is healing,”
Abraham Verghese, The Covenant of Water

Abraham   Verghese
“In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
Abraham Verghese, The Covenant of Water

Richard Powers
“My son loved the library. He loved putting books on hold online and having them waiting, bundled up with his name, when he came for them. He loved the benevolence that the stacks held out, their map of the known world. He loved the all-you-can-eat buffet of borrowing. He loved the lending histories stamped into the front of each book, the record of strangers who checked them out before him. The library was the best dungeon crawl imaginable: free loot for the finding, combined with the joy of leveling up.”
Richard Powers, Bewilderment
