Emily Coffee and Commentary

“I was worst to the one I loved best.”
― Hannah Kent, Burial Rites

“When it comes to books...They're like lifelong friends to me; I need to know they're there, even if I don't check in with them on a regular basis.”
― Vendela Vida

“I can turn to that day as though it were a page in a book. It’s written so deeply upon my mind I can almost taste the ink.”
― Hannah Kent, Burial Rites

“I am not a smart man, particularly, but one day, at long last, I stumbled from the dark woods of my own, and my family's, and my country's past, holding in my hands these truths: that love grows from the rich loam of forgiveness; that mongrels make good dogs; that the evidence of God exists in the roundness of things. This much, at least, I've figured out. I know this much is true.”
― Wally Lamb, I Know This Much Is True
