Emily St. John Mandel
“A fragment for my friend--
If your soul left this earth I would follow and find you
Silent, my starship suspended in night”
Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven

Ed Yong
“A moth will never know what a zebra finch hears in its song, a zebra finch will never feel the electric buzz of a black ghost knifefish, a knifefish will never see through the eyes of a mantis shrimp, a mantis shrimp will never smell the way a dog can, and a dog will never understand what it is to be a bat. We will never fully do any of these things either, but we are the only animal that can try.”
Ed Yong, An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us

Ed Yong
“To perceive the world through other senses is to find splendor in familiarity, and the sacred in the mundane.”
Ed Yong, An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us

Callista Buchen
“I sit with my grief. I mother it. I hold its small, hot hand. I don’t say, shhh. I don’t say, it is okay. I wait until it is done having feelings. Then we stand and we go wash the dishes. We crack open bedroom doors, step over the creaks, and kiss the children. We are sore from this grief, like we’ve returned from a run, like we are training for a marathon. I’m with you all the way, says my grief, whispering, and then we splash our face with water and stretch, one big shadow and one small.”
Callista Buchen

Ocean Vuong
“Because the sunset, like survival, exists only on the verge of its own disappearing. To be gorgeous, you must first be seen, but to be seen allows you to be hunted.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
