“This is death, then: a brief spot of light on earth extinguished, a rippling point of energy swept clear. A kiss, a song, the warm circle of a stranger’s arms—these things and others—the whole crush of memory and hope, the constant babble of the mind, everything that composes a person—gone.”
Kirstin Valdez Quade, The Five Wounds

“Real suffering isn’t just about physical pain, but about not knowing when the pain will end, not knowing what the point of it all is.”
Kirstin Valdez Quade, The Five Wounds

“This is death, then: a brief spot of life on earth extinguished, a rippling point of energy swept clear.”
