Everything, Beautiful Quotes

“Finding beauty in the darker, damaging things does not alter the weight of them, but it can, if only for a second, provide reflection, provide breath, provide safe pockets in which to shed tears or fury or terror, glimmers to hang our hopes on like hooks in a hallway.”

“I’d like to explain beauty as corridors before people fill them, as a sunrise seen only by birds.

It is the rabbit making it across the car-streaked road in time.”
