"I was starting to see that what looks like garbage from one angle might be art from another. Maybe it did take a crisis to get to know yourself, maybe you needed to get whacked hard by life before you understood what you wanted out of it."
Identity
"We pretend that we know our children, because it's easier than admitting the truth--from the minute that cord is cut, they are strangers. It's far easier to tell yourself your daughter is still a little girl than to see her in a bikini and realize she has the curves of a young woman; it's safer to say you're a good parent who has all the right conversations about drugs and sex than to acknowledge there are a thousand things she would never tell you."
Parenting
"The thing that most people didn't understand, if they weren't in his line if work, was that a rape victim and a victim of a fatal accident were both gone forever. The difference was that the rape victim still had to go through the motions of being alive."
Reality
"Being a parent wasn't just about bearing a child. It was about bearing witness to its life."
Parenting
"When we sat down on the couch again, you curled up against my side, like you used to when you were a tod."
Family
"Things that look impossible suddenly seem a lot better, once you get God on board."
Spiritual
"Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult, I've decided, is only a slow sewing shut."
Life
"There are skeletons in everyone's closet, things no one ever wants the world to discover."
Life
"Polar north can't get away from a magnet; the magnet finds it, no matter what."
Science
"There is a magic to intimacy, a world built of sighs and skin that is thicker than brick, stronger than iron. There is only you, and him, so impossibly close that nothing can come between. Not the enemy, not your allies. In this safe haven, in this hallowed place and time, I could even ask the questions whose answers I feared."
