Finding Endurance Quotes

“We could hear, clear or crackling, the Wright Brothers whoop when their first plane flew and we could hear Bach giving music lessons to his son. We could hear Jesus talking in his sleep. We could hear our child’s first laugh again, and the laugh of every baby that has ever laughed. We could hear our fathers first meeting our mothers. We could hear their last words to us, and all the words we’ve forgotten. We could hear our mothers kiss us goodnight, night after night. We could hear, over and over, the ones we love tell us they love us. We could hear them say our names. Nothing would be lost, nothing would ever be lost, if only we had the right radio to hear it.”
― Darrel Bristow-Bovey, Finding Endurance: Shackleton, My Father and a World Without End
