Sasha Sagan
“Every single one of us appears seemingly from nowhere and then, eventually, returns to nowhere. We are conceived, we grow, and we die, but what happens beyond that is a great, haunting mystery. We grapple with it by marking how and when things change here on Earth, both cyclically and permanently.”
Sasha Sagan, For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding Meaning in Our Unlikely World
tags: ritual

Fredrik Backman
“That's the power of literature, you know, it can act like little love letters between two people who can only explain their feelings by pointing at other people's.”
Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

Ann Napolitano
“Humans need community, for our emotional health. We need connection, a sense of belonging. We are not built to thrive in isolation.”
Ann Napolitano, Dear Edward

Ella Frances Sanders
“You see, you are not so soft after all; you are rock and wave and the peeling barks of trees, you are ladybirds and the smell of a garden after the rain. When you put your best foot forward, you are taking the north side of a mountain with you.”
Ella Frances Sanders, Eating the Sun: Small Musings on a Vast Universe

V.E. Schwab
“What is a person, if not the marks they leave behind?”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
