“Perhaps we know that one day we will have to release what we are tired of feeding and caring for, when the song of the trees is all we can hope to hear.”
― Laurie Foos, The Blue Girl

“In our memories the stories of our lives defy chronology, resist transcription: past ambushes present, and future hurries into history.”
― Anthony Doerr, About Grace

“Perhaps there are those who are able to go about their lives unfettered by such concerns. But for those like us, our fate is to face the world as orphans, chasing through long years the shadows of vanished parents. There is nothing for it but to try and see through our missions to the end, as best we can, for until we do so, we will be permitted no calm.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, When We Were Orphans

“Time weighs down on you like an old, ambiguous dream. You keep on moving, trying to sleep through it. But even if you go to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to escape it. Still, you have to go there- to the edge of the world. There's something you can't do unless you get there.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
