Allison Larkin
“don’t have words for mourning people when their souls leave us long before their body is gone.”
Allison Larkin, Home of the American Circus

Fredrik Backman

Ted’s chest hurts, like crying without oxygen, because grief does so many strange things to people, and one of those things is that we forget how to breathe. As if the body’s first instinct is to grieve itself to death. Soon Ted will stand up and discover that he’s forgotten how to walk too, that happens to us all when the love of our life falls asleep for the last time, because when the soul leaves the body, evidently the last thing it does is tie our shoelaces together. In the weeks following the death we trip over thin air. It’s the soul’s fault.”
Fredrik Backman, My Friends

Meg Howrey
“Emotions have a way of collecting and hardening inside us, like neglected grease. We are all smoking stoves.”
Meg Howrey, They're Going to Love You

Ocean Vuong
“We are the blur in the windows of your trains and minivans, your Greyhounds, our faces mangled by wind and speed like castaway Munch paintings. The only things we share with the city are the ambulances, being close enough to Hartford for them to come fetch us when we’re near dead or rattling away on steel gurneys without next of kin. We live on the edges but die in the heart of the state. We pay taxes on every check to stand on the sinking banks of a river that becomes the morgue of our dreams.”
Ocean Vuong, The Emperor of Gladness

Daniel Nayeri

It’s not a happy love.

It’s just whoever manages not to hurt you all the time. You think they must be the best the world has to offer. The little window of time you aren’t in pain can seem like happiness.”
Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue
