“Grief is love's alter ego, after all, yin to its yang, the necessary other; like night, grief has its own dark beauty. How may we know light without knowledge of dark? How may we know love without sorrow? "The disorientation following such loss can be terrible, I know" Wendell Berry wrote me on learning of Larry's death. "But grief gives the full measure of love, and it is somehow reassuring to learn, even by suffering, how large, and powerful love is.”
Fenton Johnson

T.S. Eliot
“This is one moment, / But know that another / Shall pierce you with a sudden painful joy.”
T.S. Eliot, Murder in the Cathedral

“Whoever you are, some evening take a step out of your house, which you know so well. Enormous space is near.”
Michael Crichton, Travels

Jeanette Winterson
“When I was born, I became the visible corner of a folded map. The map has more than one route. More than one destination. The map that is the unfolding self is not exactly leading anywhere. The arrow that says YOU ARE HERE is your first first coordinate. There is a lot you can't change when you are kid. But you can pack for the journey.”
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
“Truth for anyone is a very complex thing. For a writer, what you leave out says as much as those things you include. What lies beyond the margin of the text? The photographer frames the shot; writers frame their world.”
Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?
