“Was there no safety? No learning by heart of the ways of the world? No guide, no shelter, but all was miracle, and leaping from the pinnacle of a tower into the air? Could it be, even for elderly people, that this was life?—startling, unexpected, unknown?”
― Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

“Evil is not limited by what you personally can imagine.”

“Another thing. If you're missing me I want you to know I'm not missing you. Gone is gone. I never miss anything or anyone because it all becomes a lovely memory. I guard my memories and love them, but I don't get in them and lie down. You can even make stories from yours, but remember, they don't come back. Just think how awful it would be if they did. You don't need me now. You're eleven years old which is old enough to get busy at growing up to be the person you want to be.”
― Louise Fitzhugh, Harriet the Spy

“You ever wonder if this is Heaven now? You ever wonder if we're all just there now and we don't know it?

I've thought about that. All of us have. There's a lot less people who go to church than there used to be, because that's what a lot of people think.


But I don't think so. But I think about it. And I think, well, I can't be. Because I'm like you, I kinda look at the big long life ahead of me that stretches out forever and disappears. And I get scared. And I think, "this can't be Heaven if I'm getting scared, right?"

And then I think, "maybe I am in Heaven, and Heaven is scary.”
