“my friend who died young and was a work of art, no: a work of life though she died so roughly, and wherever those art thieves are hiding her till they can sell her, they have to tape blankets over the windows because the light coming off of her mind, even though she is dead, gives away her whereabouts, and they have to keep pulling up and cutting back the tendrils and green stuff that persistently crack the stone of the floors of wherever they've got her. That's the art of dying alright.”
Ali Smith, Public Library and Other Stories

John Mark Green
“Grief is the language that love speaks after loss.”
John Mark Green

“My father, Md. Shamsul Alam, was the most selfish man in the world—selfish enough to give away everything to us, so we can never breathe without remembering him with tear-filled eyes.”
Sayem Sarkar

Leo Tolstoy
“She sat by the sofa, and let her needle move in the embroidery frame, and she was sure that what she was doing was right. She was sure that at that moment she was living in her proper way and that she was doing what was right.”
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace Book 4

“So, imagine we're all born with a set of feelings. Some are broader or deeper than others, but for everyone, there's that ground floor, a bottom crust of the pie. That's the maximum depth of feeling you've ever experienced. And then, the worst thing happens to you. The very worst thing that could have happened. The thing you had nightmares about as a child, and you thought, it's all right because that thing will happen to me when I'm older and wiser, and I'll have telt so many feelings by then that this one worst feeling, the worst possible feeling won't seem so terrible.
*But it happens to you when you're young. It happens when your brain isn't even fully done cooking when you've barely experienced anything, really. The worst thing is one of the first big things that ever happens to you in your life. It happens to you, and it goes all the way down to the bottom of what you know how to feel, and it rips it open and carves out this chasm down below to make room. And because you were so young, and because it was one of the first big things to happen in your lite, you'll always carry it inside you. Every time something terrible happens to you from then on, it doesn't just stop at the bottom - it goes all the way down." She reaches across the tiny tea table and the sad little pile of water crackers and touches the back of Alex's hand
"Do you understand?" she asks him, looking right into his eyes. "You need to understand this to be with Henry. He is the most loving, nurturing, selfless person you could hope to meet, but there is a sadness and a hurt in him that is tremendous, and you may very well never truly understand it, but you need to love it as much as you love the rest of him, because thare him. That is him, part and parce. And he is prepared to live it all to you, which is far more than I ever, in a thousand years, thought I would see him do.”
