“In the aftermath of death Small talk feels too small, big talk too enormous.”
“Everything's much too big here,' thought Moominmamma. 'Or perhaps I'm too small.”
“small talk comes from small bones”
“Death itself is too big to take in, she already sees that; the loss comes at you instead in an infinite number of small installments that can never be paid off.”
“Love is too small a word - too small.”
“No profit was too small to despise; no loss was too small to abhor.”
