“Between 1970 and 2019 alone, nearly a third of all birds had disappeared from North America. Once, the forest would have been deafening.”
Daniel Mason, North Woods

“What we give cannot be taken from us.”
Anne Michaels, Held

“When we are moved, Paavo thought, when we feel something beyond us, it is the boundary, the limit of the body, that allows us to recognise it. Limit is proof of the beyond. Not the self, but what lies beyond the self.”
Anne Michaels, Held

Miriam Toews
“Forgiveness is moot if not heartfelt. The only thing we must do is protect our God-given souls! We must find it in our own hearts to forgive the men of Molotschna ... and even if the men don't ask for it themselves and even if they claim their innocence all the way to their graves!"

"So you believe that maintaining the condition of your own soul is more important than obeying God?" Mirika says, less calm now.
"They are the same thing really," Ona says, steadily. "I believe that my soul, my essence, my intangible energy is the presence of God within me and that by bringing peace to my soul I am honouring God. If I can understand how these crimes may have occurred, I am able to forgive these men and I am almost able, certainly from a distance, to pity them... to love them. Love is good and better than retaliation.”
Miriam Toews

“because in their quest for power, they needed to have those they'd have power over, and those people are us. And they have taught this lesson of power to the boys and men of Molotschna, and the boys and men of Molotschna have been excellent students in that regard.”
Miriam Toews, Women Talking
