Kevin    Wilson
“This was what I finally realized, that even as we sank deeper and deeper into our lives, we were always separate. And I wondered what it would feel like, to fall but to hold on to someone else so you weren’t alone.”
Kevin Wilson, Nothing to See Here

Rebecca Solnit
“Worry is a way to pretend that you have knowledge or control over what you don't--and it surprises me, even in myself, how much we prefer ugly scenarios to the pure unknown.”
Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost

Marilynne Robinson
“People talk about how wonderful the world seems to children, and that's true enough. But children think they will grow into it and understand it, and I know very well that I will not, and would not if I had a dozen lives.”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

Rebecca Solnit
“But fear of making mistakes can itself become a huge mistake, one that prevents you from living, for life is risky and anything less is already a loss.”
Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost

Gerald Murnane
“Every plainsman knows he has to find his place. The man who stays in his native district wishes he had arrived there after a long journey. And the man who travels begins to fear that he may not find a fitting end to his journey. I've spent my life trying to see my own place as a journey I never made.”
Gerald Murnane, The Plains
