Lisa Ridzén
“A few quotes to entice you:

"I never used to do this, dwelling on things and getting myself all worked up, but every single part of my life is delicate now. I feel a sudden fondness for the old man in the mirror. It's not bloody easy, being human."

“Young folks today just aren’t right; they race about like they’ve only got a week left to live.”

“Abandon her? Which of us has been abandoned, I want to ask. You’re not the one stuck with a lifetime’s worth of memories in a body that’s slowly withering away.”

“How can it be better for me when it’s not what I want?’ My voice breaks. I’m so damn tired of everyone else deciding what’s best for me.”

“No one has ever told me that it’s normal for a person’s eyes to well up so easily as they age, for the tears to find a foothold in virtually every memory.”
Lisa Ridzén, When the Cranes Fly South

Roy T. Bennett
“Do not let the roles you play in life make you forget that you are human.”
