"A mother enters a story. But how does she enter? How does she walk across the pages of a book?"

-Kyo Maclear, Unearthing: A Story of Tangled Love and Family Secrets

"What is grief, if not the act of persisting and reconstituting oneself? What is its difficulty, if not the pressure to appear, once more, fully formed?"

-Kyo Maclear, Unearthing: A Story of Tangled Love and Family Secrets

"I could hear her saying: One day I will have a daughter and I will give her an unfinished story and it will be up to her to decide if it is a void or a gift."

-Kyo Maclear, Unearthing: A Story of Tangled Love and Family Secrets

"Knowledge is a beautiful sideways and sometimes upward spiral, but a tower of appeasement will not feed you. Merit badges will teach compliance with preset paths but will not teach pathfinding."
