Quotes by Paul Michael Peters (?)

“When you put pain in perspective”—she pauses to find the right words to articulate the sentiment—“it isn’t that we experience it in the moment. It’s that we are always going to have it, always going to carry it with us. It’s the weight we carry with aging.”
― Paul Michael Peters, The Symmetry of Snowflakes

“Opening day for the Detroit Tigers is the true mark for the start of spring in Detroit.”
