Quote by John Jeremiah Sullivan

“When Lytle was born, the Wright Brothers had not yet achieved a working design. When he died, Voyager 2 was exiting the solar system. What does one do with the coexistence of those details in a lifetime’s view? It weighed on him.”

“Outside the window, the weather is beyond our control. The sun will rise and set every day, sometimes there’ll be rain, and at night the moon and stars light up the sky blanketed by the darkness, and when the night gives way to dawn, it’ll be yet another day. There’s nothing we can do to change what’s outside, but we can choose the weather in our heart. Our feelings are ours to decide, and there’s always happiness within us. The weather in our heart is ours, and ours alone.”
