Quote by Rebecca Sacks

“I lean against the kitchen sink, listening as the piano tells the one story that is every story: we are small, we are scared, we are brave. We love, we hurt, we fall apart, we change, we let go, we go on. We become unrecognizable. We stay more or less the same - small and scared. It goes forever. Stay as long as you can.”

“Sometimes when Carney got wind of the latest outrage--a bloody slaughter in a Vietnamese hamlet, a rash of lethal ODs from a bad batch, an unarmed teenager cut down by cops--he suspected the revolution had already happened, only nobody could see it and no one had come along to replace what had been overthrown. The old order was rubble, bulldozed into a pile with the long-held assumptions and rickety premises, and now they waited for someone to tell them what was next. No such person appeared.”
