Book cover for Heart of Darkness
No one may know of it, but you never forget the thump--eh? A blow on the very heart. You remember it, you dream of it, you wake up at night and think of it--years after--and go hot and cold all over.

“My father used to say the world turned wrong when we started separating ourselves from the wild, when we stopped being one with the rest of nature, and sat apart.”
Charlotte McConaghy, Once There Were Wolves

Michael Cunningham
“She should be standing before the stove in her new robe, full of simple, encouraging talk. Still, when she opened her eyes a few minutes ago (after seven already!)—when she still half inhabited her dream, some sort of pulsating machinery in the remote distance, a steady pounding like a gigantic mechanical heart, which seemed to be drawing nearer—she felt the dank sensation around her, the nowhere feeling, and knew it was going to be a difficult day. She knew she was going to have trouble believing in herself,”
Michael Cunningham, The Hours

David Rosenfelt
“I try to limit my exposure to politicians to a bare minimum; they trigger my hypocrite allergy.”
David Rosenfelt, Best in Snow

“For as long as ours has been a nation of immigrants, we have been a nation that fears immigrants. Fear of the other is woven into the fabric of our American culture, and unscrupulous people in power have exploited that fear in pursuit of political advantage.”
Kamala Harris, The Truths We Hold: An American Journey

Heather Lende
“Do we feel God’s presence because we are looking for him, or do we feel it because he is looking for us?”
Heather Lende, If You Lived Here, I'd Know Your Name: News from Small-Town Alaska
