“Die Arktis ist die Zone der Welt, wo der Himmel die Erde berührt. NIcht jeder erträgt das große Licht, nicht jeder die große Finsternis, nicht jeder die große Einsamkeit. Ich hatte die große Gnade, gleich am Anfang meines Abenteuers, und dies alleine, mitten hineingeschleudert zu werden in die Unerbittlichkeit der wilden Natur und erhielt meine Feuertaufe. Seitdem weiß ich, dass hinter den Kulissen der Welt die Gegenwart Gotts ist. Das gibt die Kraft und die Ruhe für alles.”
― Christiane Ritter, A Woman in the Polar Night

“I think maybe love can just...dissolve."
"No, it does not," her mother said.
"So how do--"
"You hang on," her mother said. "Until your hands are bleeding, and still you do not let go.”
― Kristin Hannah, Winter Garden

“Love—that’s what she felt, an odd, strong, general love that seemed to flow from everything she saw and heard: the sunlit leaves, the dark hollows beneath the trees, the stones of the house, the birds that called as they flew overhead. And in its glow, she glimpsed momentarily what religious people must surely feel at church: the sense of being bathed in the light of certainty that comes with being known from the inside out, from belonging somewhere and to someone. It was simple. It was luminous, and beautiful, and true.”
― Kate Morton, The Clockmaker's Daughter
