Norman Maclean
“I sat there and forgot and forgot, until what remained was the river that went by and I who watched. On the river the heat mirages danced with each other and then they danced through each other and then they joined hands and danced around each other. Eventually the watcher joined the river, and there was only one of us. I believe it was the river.”
Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It and Other Stories

George Eliot
“We can’t choose happiness either for ourselves or for another; we can’t tell where that will lie. We can only choose whether we will indulge ourselves in the present moment, or whether we will renounce that, for the sake of obeying the divine voice within us,—for the sake of being true to all the motives that sanctify our lives. I know this belief is hard; it has slipped away from me again and again; but I have felt that if I let it go forever, I should have no light through the darkness of this life”
George Eliot, The Mill on the Floss

Charles Dickens
“Let them be! We shall sit with lighter bosoms on the hearth, to see the ashes of our fires turn gray and cold.”
Charles Dickens, Hard Times

Patricia Engel
“That night I thought about how love comes paired with failures, apologies for deficiencies. The only remedy is compassion.”
Patricia Engel, Infinite Country

Ernest Hemingway
“This is a bad life for good children”
Ernest Hemingway, Islands in the Stream
