“You must learn to be generous with your absence to those
who haven’t understood the importance of your presence.”
― Valérie Perrin, Fresh Water for Flowers

“When something bad is actually happening, it's easy to underreact, because a part of you is wired to assume it isn't real. When you stop underreacting, the horror is unique because it is, unfortunately, endless.”
― Julia Armfield, Our Wives Under the Sea

“There’s something stronger than death, and that’s the presence of those absent in the memory of the living.”
― Valérie Perrin, Fresh Water for Flowers

“But it is worth noting that to be good at something is not quite the same as loving it.”
― Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
