“Home isn’t always a place is it?”
Charlie Mackesy, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

Lucy Grealy
“When a film's heroine innocently coughs, you know that two scenes later, at most, she'll be in an oxygen tent; when a man bumps into a woman at the train station, you know that man will become the woman's lover and/or murderer. In everyday life, where we cough often and are always bumping into people, our daily actions rarely reverberate so lucidly. Once we love or hate someone, we can think back and remember that first casual encounter. But what of all the chance meetings that nothing ever comes of? While our bodies move ever forward on the time line, our minds continuously trace backward, seeking shape and meaning as deftly as any arrow seeking its mark.”
Lucy Grealy, Autobiography of a Face

Maya Angelou
“Whenever I began to question whether God exists, I looked up to the sky and surely there, right there, between the sun and moon, stands my grandmother, singing a long meter hymn, a song somewhere between a moan and a lullaby and I know faith is the evidence of things unseen. And all I have to do is continue trying to be a Christian.”
Maya Angelou, Letter to My Daughter

“firm takeaway from all our interviews with women is that most dudes out there are straight-up bozos.”
Aziz Ansari, Modern Romance: An Investigation

“What do you want to be when you grow up?"

"Kind," said the boy.”
Charlie Mackesy, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
