Book cover for Stay True: A Memoir (Pulitzer Prize Winner)
Even then, they understood that American life is unbounded promise and hypocrisy, faith and greed, new spectrums of joy and self-doubt, freedom enabled by enslavement. All of these things at once.

“To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.”
Aaron Copland

David Levithan
“I'm not good at relationships
I always manage to find the flaws
sometimes in others
but mostly my own.
I foretell the ending
then go and create the cause
save myself
and end up alone”
David Levithan, The Realm of Possibility

Nicole Krauss
“Loneliness: there is no organ that can take it all.”
Nicole Krauss, The History of Love

Jonathan Safran Foer
“I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can't tell fast enough, the ears that aren't big enough, the eyes that can't take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Ann Brashares
“Maybe you think you’ll be entitled to more happiness later by forgoing all of it now, but it doesn’t work that way. Happiness takes as much practice as unhappiness does. It’s by living that you live more. By waiting you wait more. Every waiting day makes your life a little less. Every lonely day makes you a little smaller. Every day you put off your life makes you less capable of living it.”
Ann Brashares, Sisterhood Everlasting
