“I know what it does to you, I know. Maybe that's why we hold on as hard as we do. We just can't believe that such a miracle can happen to us twice. But it can, someday you'll find it again.”
Laura Zigman, Animal Husbandry

“There are few things sadder in this life than watching someone walk away after they've left you. Watching the distance between your bodies expand until there's nothing but empty space and silence.”
Laura Zigman, Animal Husbandry

“Peaks and valleys. That's what life comes down to, in the end. Fucking geography.”
Laura Zigman, Piece of Work
