Andrew Solomon
“Absence does not so much make the heart grow fonder as give the heart time to integrate what it has not previously absorbed, time to make sense of what happened too quickly to have any meaning in the instant. This is always true. If it is in absence that people forget each other, it is also in the quiet pause of absence that, minds running in symmetry, people come to know each other; there is sometimes as much intimacy in the span of continents as in the shared hours before dawn.”
Andrew Solomon, A Stone Boat

Thomas   Moore
“Love doesn't demand perfection, but it does ask you to give yourself with less reserve than you'd prefer.”
Thomas Moore, ALife at WorkThe Joy of Discovering What You Were Born to Do

Marilynne Robinson
“The force behind the movement of time is a mourning that will not be comforted.”
Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping

Eula Biss
“Our fears are informed by history and economics, by social power and stigma, by myths and nightmares. And as with other strongly held beliefs, our fears are dear to us. When we encounter information that contradicts our beliefs, as Slovic found in one of his studies, we tend to doubt the information, not ourselves.”
Eula Biss, On Immunity: An Inoculation

Lionel Shriver
“Though surely to avoid attachments for fear of loss is to avoid life.”
Lionel Shriver, We Need to Talk About Kevin
