Julia Fine
“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.”
Julia Fine, What Should Be Wild

Julia Fine
“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

Julia Fine
“You think because you name it and tell it, it becomes? A story is a present, tied with a ribbon and a wish. Real things aren't so easy.”
Julia Fine, What Should Be Wild

Julia Fine
“Peter would have said that behaviors are determined by principles, theories.

That the difference between Theory of God and Theory of Not God was actually quite slim, each a slightly different lens through which to choose to view the world. One a shade lighter, the other negligibly darker—what mattered was that both were held up to the eye and used to filter our experience. It was easier to change the lens than to remove the vehicle of understanding, easier to adjust my sense of how I fit into the world than reconceive of the world entirely.”
Julia Fine, What Should Be Wild

Julia Fine
“Above him, around him, the elder dreams of soil. Dreams of glassy, glinting snow. Dreams of its own greatness - taller, wider, more light. It knows nothing of self-sabotage, regret, or restitution.”
