“Even in the most terrible chapters of my life I have always known a certain, savage beauty— in the color of the sky, the sense of birds flying close to my ear, the feel of the soft-loam earth and the joy of running through the untended woods until I became more animal than spirit.”
― Claire Oshetsky, Poor Deer

“But moments of pure astonishment are a fleeting gift, impossible for humans to hang on to - just like moments of pure grief, or pure rage, or any other kind of pure feeling - all of them dissipate and disappear, as quick as they came...”
― Claire Oshetsky, Poor Deer

“You just need to make them again, and again. That's why I'm not bothered when my pieces crack or break. Because I'm going to keep on making more. Whether it's pottery or life, it takes more than one attempt for them to come out right. And all that effort makes the end product more valuable, too.”
― Yeon Somin, The Healing Season of Pottery

“Even if it's a lie, it's a place of my own. That's why I'm going to keep it. It doesn't need to be a big lie—just big enough for one person. And if I can hold on to that lie inside my heart, if I can keep repeating it to myself, it might lead me somewhere. Somewhere else, somewhere different. If I can do that, maybe I'll change a little, and maybe the world will, too.”
