Margaret Renkl
“I stand at the window looking out, trying to remember the truths that nature always brings home. That what lies before me is not all
there is. That time is ever passing, and not only when I notice. That strife and pain are no more unexpected than pleasure and joy. That merely by breathing I belong to the eternal.”
Margaret Renkl, The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year

Geraldine Brooks
“...a racehorse is a mirror, and a man sees his own reflection there. He wants to think he’s from the best breeding. He wants to think himself brave. Can he win against all comers? And if not, does he have self-mastery to take a loss, stay cool in defeat, and try again undaunted? Those are the great qualities of a great racehorse and a great gentleman.”
Geraldine Brooks, Horse

“the world is always ending over and over again in one place but not another and that the end of the world is always a local event, it comes to your country and visits your town and knocks on the door of your house and becomes to others but some distant warning, a brief report on the news, an echo of events that has passed into folklore,”
Paul Lynch, Prophet Song

Geraldine Brooks
“Only horses were honest, in the end.”
Geraldine Brooks, Horse

Elif Shafak
“Books, like paper lanterns, provide us with a light amidst the fog.”
Elif Shafak, There Are Rivers in the Sky
