“You will never remember the great if you do not remember the small.”
― Nghi Vo, The Empress of Salt and Fortune

“I want to meet you in every place I have loved.”

“I read and savagely mourn, as if reading could somehow sate this hunger for grief, instead of what it does, which is fuel it.”
― Lauren Groff, Florida

“A reminder to remember: just because the sharpness of the sadness has faded does not mean that it was not, once, terrible. It means only that time and space, creatures of infinite girth and tenderness, have stepped between the two of you, and they are keeping you safe as they were once unable to.”
― Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House
