“What stories can do, I guess, is make things present.I can look at things I never looked at. I can attach faces to grief and love and pity and God. I can be brave. I can make myself feel again.”
“Two people can look at the same thing and see it differently..”
“The more a man looks at a thing, the less he can see it, and the more a man learns a thing, the less he knows it.”
“When all else fails, the only thing you can do is to look above.”
“The worst thing you can do when someone is sick is to tell them that they look sick.”
