“Every single thing we own owns us." Abigail from a thread of truth”

“There is no single face in nature, because every eye that looks upon it, sees it from its own angle. So every man's spice-box seasons his own food.”

“Stories are how we make sense of our lives. To tell a story is to own it: to own the narrative thread to own a piece of our past. And when we own a story when we put it in a tidy box and store it on a high shelf it becomes manageable so that whatever negative effects it's been having on us are in theory lessened.”

“We, all of us, must be left alone to make good on our own consciences. And no county magistrate or judge or deacon can separate us from the truth, for they are only men.”

“We're all damaged in our own way. Nobody's perfect. I think we're all somewhat screwy. Every single one of us.”

“You've learned that every good lie is threaded with truth and every accepted truth leaks lies.”
