“The facts of things do not store well. They rot and fall apart. But the stories we tell last and even grow.”
Ananda Braxton-Smith, Merrow

Anne  Michaels
“They waited until I was asleep, then roused themselves, exhausted as swimmers, grey between the empty trees. Their hair in tufts, open sores where ears used to be, grubs twisting from their chests. The grotesque remains of incomplete lives, the embodied complexities of desires eternally denied.”
Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces

Mike McCormack
“her voice suddenly gone as if it had snagged on the mist and was carried off into the failing light, leaving the phone dead in my hand, a warm sliver with the screen fading like some luminous shard from outer space which had traveled across stellar distances at great speed to arrive here in my hand where its glow was now losing its heat, gone”
Mike McCormack, Solar Bones

Mike McCormack
“something that at first sight appeared to be the luminous bones of some massive, extinct creature, now disinterred, with its ribs gathered into a neat bundle around the thick stump of a massive spinal column which time and the elements had polished to such a cool ceramic gloss that if I were to leave my hand on it I would have been surprised if it felt like anything other than glass”
Mike McCormack, Solar Bones

Tim Kreider
“If we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known.”
Tim Kreider
