“the further you distance yourself from the realities of what it means to be an animal in this world, the more you risk severing your connection to it.”
― Becky Chambers, A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

“It’s always two people bumping against each other blindly, acting out of old ideas and dreams and mistaken understandings.”
― Kent Haruf, Our Souls at Night

“I got up and left the house and drove out in the country, the stars were all shining and there were the farmlights and yardlights all looking blue in the dark. Everything looking normal, except nothing was normal anymore, everything was at some kind of cliff’s edge, and late that night I came back.”
― Kent Haruf, Our Souls at Night

“There are people who spend every day immersed in these considerations—like the younger women I saw standing by the shelves—following the trajectories detailed in these books, doing things to become happier, to become better versions of themselves. These women had so many choices, and so many temptations, so many layers of coincidences and incidents, and the choices they made would change the color of their lives. They were surrounded by possibility.”
― Mieko Kawakami, All the Lovers in the Night
