“His goodness was found ... not in the moral pilgrimage that reached its destination point, but in the love ethic by which he journeyed life's highways.”

“You know how you can remember exactly when and where you read certain books? A great novel, a truly great one, not only captures a particular fictional experience, it alters and intensifies the way you experience your own life while you’re reading it. And it preserves it, like a time capsule.”
― Lily King, Heart the Lover

“Tears
The crystal rags
Viscous tatters
of a worn-through soul”
― Maya Angelou

“As soon as his voice is gone I have that feeling I often have when I’m away from my family, like they are moving farther and farther away from me, beginning to flicker faintly as distant stars and I will never ever reach them again. It feels like a premonition of the fact that someday, one by one, we will be separated from each other forever.”
― Lily King, Heart the Lover
