The Gentling Box Quotes

“We're all of us, always on the edge of bereavement.”
― Lisa Mannetti, The Gentling Box

“All the desolation in the world sweeps like a night wind howling through the vast emptiness that is our being.”
― Lisa Mannetti, The Gentling Box

“We want small things, tiny joys. The feeling that tomorrow is going to bring us bright colors, shiny tinsel--the delicious smell of cooking, a moment's adventure in a sideshow. We want hope. We want love. And Christ, it shouldn't be too much to ask for in this cockeyed world--and yet it is. Somehow, it is.”
― Lisa Mannetti, The Gentling Box
