“Forward only, never back. Do not, in your mind, keep a tally of past horrors. Do not question decisions that cannot be unmade, dwell on actions that cannot be undone. The power to equivocate is no power at all, and that you've ever though it to be is your weakness.”
― Julia Fine, What Should Be Wild

“Life is not a riddle to be solved. The things that matter most cannot be won, cannot be tricked. They won't be studied, never fully understood.”

“Here I was, pondering the incongruity of being a mother and an academic, of devoting oneself to two projects, which is to say living a life, which is, I guess, no incongruity at all. Merely living, merely choosing, in each moment, who and what to which you will attend. The Latin, atendere, means to stretch.”
― Julia Fine, The Upstairs House
