Scratch a fantasy and you’ll find a nightmare  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) I know now that we never get over great losses; we absorb them, and they carve us into different, often kinder, creatures. We tell the story to get them back, to capture the traces of footfalls through the snow.  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) It’s and old, old story: I had a friend and we shared everything, and then she died and so we shared that, too.  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) The truth, or success, of any writer’s story lies partly in its specificity and its emotional honesty.  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) The territory of grief... is both cruel and commonplace  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) I’d confused need with love and love with sacrifice  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) The flaw is the thing we love  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) The only education in grief that any of us ever gets is a crash course  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) Grief is what tells you who you are alone  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) What they never tell you about grief is that missing someone is the simple part  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) Like a starfish, the heart endures its amputation  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) The belief that life was hard and often its worst battles were fought in private, that it was possible to walk through fear and come out scorched but still breathing  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) I know now that we never get over great losses; we absorb them, and they carve us into different, often kinder, creatures  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) Maybe this is the point: to embrace the core sadness of life without toppling headlong into it, or assuming it will define your days  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) Hope in the beginning feels like such a violation of the loss, and yet without it we couldn’t survive  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) Memory is both the curse of grief and the eventual talisman against it; what at first seems unbearable becomes the succor that can outlast pain  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) Grief doesn’t necessarily make you noble. Sometimes it just makes you crazy, or primitive with fear  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) The mother’s first job is to raise a daughter strong enough to outlast her  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) It’s and old, old story: I had a friend and we shared everything, and then she died and so we shared that, too  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) The truth, or success, of any writer’s story lies partly in its specificity and its emotional honesty  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) You can’t change the tale so that you turned left one day instead of right, or didn’t make the mistake that might have saved your life a day later. We don’t get those choices. The story is what got you here, and embracing its truth is what makes the outcome bearable  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) My idea of a productive day, as both a child and an adult, was reading for hours and staring out the window  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) Old dogs can be a regal sight. Their exuberance settles over the years into a seasoned nobility, their routines become as locked into yours as the quietest and kindest of marriages  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) If writers possess a common temperament, it’s that they tend to be shy egomaniacs; publicity is the spotlight they suffer for the recognition they crave  (Gail Caldwell Quotes) That she was irreplaceable became a bittersweet loyalty: Her death was what I had now instead of her  (Gail Caldwell Quotes)
