“I saw our daughter dance at her wedding. Her smile was like a light and it was reflected in everyone's faces, and I recognized that light.

Because it was ours.

We did that.

We loved each other so well that it spread out into the universe and it created a new star.

-Hugh Crain - The Haunting of Hill House”
Mike Flanagan

Heather Fellin Tierney
“She knew there was something amazing about something - someone - who celebrated you, always, and how rare that was: how endless that is, and how beautiful it could be.”
Heather Fellin Tierney, If The Train Arrives

Richard Rohr
“Surrender will always feel like dying, and yet it is the necessary path to liberation.”
Richard Rohr, Breathing Underwater

David  Mitchell
“...love is fusion in the sun's core. Love is a blurring of pronouns. Love is subject and object. The difference between its presence and its absence is the difference between life and death. Experimentally, silently, I mouth I love you to Holly, who breathes like the sea. This time I whisper it, at about the violin's volume: "I love you." No one hears, no one sees, but the tree falls in the forest just the same.”
David Mitchell

Madeline Miller
“That is one thing gods and mortals share. When we are young, we think ourselves the first to have each feeling in the world.”
Madeline Miller, Circe
