Jonathan Evison
“Listen to me: everything you think you know, every relationship you've ever taken for granted, every plan or possibility you've ever hatched, every conceit or endeavor you've ever concocted, can be stripped from you in an instant. Sooner or later, it will happen. So prepare yourself. Be ready not to be ready. Be ready to be brought to your knees and beaten to dust. Because no stable foundation, no act of will, no force of cautious habit will save you from this fact: nothing is indestructible.”
Jonathan Evison, The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving

Anthony Marra
“How often is immense sadness mistaken for courage?”
Anthony Marra, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena

Kate Atkinson
“We cannot turn away,” Miss Woolf told her, “we must get on with our job and we must bear witness.” What did that mean, Ursula wondered. “It means,” Miss Woolf said, “that we must remember these people when we are safely in the future.”
“And if we are killed?”
“Then others must remember us.”
Kate Atkinson, Life After Life

Anita Diamant
“When a shy person smiles, it’s like the sun coming out.”
Anita Diamant, The Boston Girl

Carole Radziwill
“Afterward I tried to find something to explain what had happened—was it cloudy, were the stars out? But the night was ordinary. It usually is, I think, when your life changes. Most people aren’t doing anything special when the carefully placed pieces of their life break apart.”
Carole Radziwill, What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love
