Everything I Have Is Yours Quotes

“Something sometimes happens when someone dies, though. You're crying for the loss of that person, but for all the people you've lost before that, too.”
― Eleanor Henderson, Everything I Have Is Yours: A Marriage

“You don't have to have shared a placenta with someone to sense their pain. Some would say that empathy is what makes us human. But I think empathy was here, an intuition. The thrumming awareness that we are all connected to the smallest speck, the most distant stars, by the great umbilicus of the solar system, the orbits tossing and tearing us with the force of the tides. When we pay attention to things like parasites and the moon, we are paying attention to the fact that we are citizens of the universe. Most of being human is an effort to forget.”
― Eleanor Henderson, Everything I Have Is Yours: A Marriage
