Each historical artifact, therefore, is a silent plea from ancestors to descend at a, “do not judge us too harshly.” We make art to leave a mark for the future, a slight link in the river of stories, which flows too fast and too wildly for any of us to comprehend.

“Life is full of the unexpected, my friend. As if we are walking in a river of mud, and we dare dip our hands every now and then, searching for a button of hope, a coin of friendship, a ring of love. We are mudlarkers, all of us.”

“That afternoon they all killer themselves just so one man accustomed to power wouldn’t have to face his mortality alone. Arthur is beginning to suspect that civilization is the name we give to what little we have salvaged from a loss that no one wants to remember.”

“And I’m not afraid to be alone, but I’m tired of being the one left behind”

Healing is figuring out how to coexist with the pain that will always life inside if you, without pretending it isn’t there or allowing it to hijack your day. It is learning to confront ghosts and to carry what lingers.

It’s a delusion that you can build a barricade between yourself and your past — that you can ignore your pain, that you can bury your great love with a new relationship, that you are among the lucky few who get to skip over the hard work of grieving and healing and rebuilding — and that all this, when it catches yo to you, won’t come for blood.
