“To lose a brother is to lose someone with whom you can share the experience of growing old, who is supposed to bring you a sister-in-law and nieces and nephews, creatures who people the tree of your life and give it new branches. To lose your father is to lose the one whose guidance and help you seek, who supports you like a tree trunk supports its branches. To lose your mother, well, that is like losing the sun above you. It is like losing--I'm sorry, I would rather not go on.”
Yann Martel, Life of Pi

William Trevor
“The flies of some other summer darkening its windowsills.”
William Trevor

Kent Haruf
“He wanted to think of words that would make some difference but there were none in any language he knew that were sufficient to the moment or that would change a single thing.”
Kent Haruf, Eventide

David Ebershoff
“Do you know what I miss most about Rosemary? Simply knowing she was there.”
David Ebershoff, The 19th Wife

Mick Jackson
“The closer it came the more speed it gathered about it, until suddenly it was tearing a great hole right through the day.”
Mick Jackson, Five Boys
