Book cover for Go as a River
Try as we might to convince ourselves otherwise, the moments of our becoming cannot be carefully plucked like the ripest and most satisfying peach from the bough. In the endless stumble toward ourselves, we harvest the crop we are given.

“It isn’t a sadness, but a joy, that we don’t do the same things for the length of our lives.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

“Every person you knew, every person you loved even, did not have to consume you for the time to have been worthwhile.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

“Sometimes, it felt as if you might be walking down Brattle Street, and without warning, you could slip into this other life, like Alice falling down the rabbit hole that led to Wonderland. You would end up a different version of yourself, in some other town. But it wouldn’t be strange like Wonderland, not at all. Because you would have expected all along that it could have turned out that way. You would feel relief, because you had always wondered what that other life would have looked like. And there you were.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
