“We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication, so wired that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. as we were. as we are no longer. as we will one day not be at all.”
― Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking

“There are years that ask questions and years that answer.”
― Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

“You have to pick the places you don't walk away from.”
― Joan Didion

“If you kin see de light at daybreak, you don't keer if you die at dusk. It's so many people never seen de light at all.”
