“It hurts to live after someone has died. It just does. It can hurt to walk down a hallway or open the fridge. It hurts to put on a pair of socks, to brush your teeth. Food tastes like nothing. Colors go flat. Music hurts, and so do memories. You look at something you’d otherwise find beautiful—a purple sky at sunset or a playground full of kids—and it only somehow deepens the loss. Grief is so lonely this way.”
― Michelle Obama, Becoming

“History doesn’t quite repeat itself, but damn, it sure can rhyme.”
― Taylor Adams, No Exit

“Everyone on earth, they’d tell us, was carrying around an unseen history, and that alone deserved some tolerance.”
― Michelle Obama, Becoming
