“I don't know then that one day I won't be seventeen. I don't know that youth doesn't last, that it's only a moment, and then it disappears and by the time you finally realize it, it's too late. It's finished, vanished, lost. There are some around me who can sense it; the adults repeat it constantly but I don't listen. Their words roll over me but don't stick.

Philippe Besson, Lie With Me

Natasha Lunn
“Maybe, then, this is how you try to bear the burden of the mystery with grace: by finding humility where you once saw self-pity, and opportunity where you once saw absence.

Helen Macdonald, H is for Hawk

Lisa Taddeo
“Sometimes there’s nothing better on earth than someone asking you a question.”
Lisa Taddeo, Three Women
