"
a re-read of one of my favourite audiobooks because it’s a source of inspiration like no other, you see these gods like never before and you feel like there are constellations acting out scenes in your mind when you sleep; i will never get enough.

“I would make a strong case for the argument that every adult on this earth is sitting on a bench waiting for their parents to pick them up, whether they know it or not. I think we wait until the day we die.”

“Life, in an absolute sense, is worth living, just as art is worth pursuing, science is worth exploring, justice is worth seeking.”

“However, I do believe that we learn to suffer better. We become more discerning in our suffering: there are things that are worth suffering for, and then there is the rest—minor suffering and inessential pain—that is but pebbles, which can be ignored or kicked aside. We also become less rigid: suffering suffuses one’s being; one no longer resists.”

“Love was a room that appeared when you stepped into it.”

“Learning a new alphabet—for weeks and months I’ve held on to that notion. James was a different child than Vincent, and James’s death left us in a different place than Vincent’s death. And yet a new alphabet can only be symbolic, as I have but this old language to work with. Words tend to take on a flabbiness or a staleness after a catastrophe, but if one has to live with the extremity of losing two children, an imperfect and ineffective language is but a minor misfortune.
There is no good way to say this: words fall short.
