“I have no fresh-from-the-oven mother-daughter recollections - only the daily creaking of cans being opened and the sucking sound of gelatinous vegetables splurting from their tin-encased vacuums. Her kitchen was filled with smoke and impatience. ...

“I knew what the sanctified life was not. Not a life filled with more rituals, more scrupulously observed. Not more praying. Not becoming a better person, being more charitable, more concerned with everyone else's pains. Sanctifying had something to do with a sense of constant wonder - feeling gratitude and finding significance everywhere, in every action, relationship and object.” PersonsFeelingsActionPainWonderObjectsPrayingBecomingGratitudeFindingsConcernedFilledConstantSignificanceRitualBetter PersonCharitableBecoming A Better Person Author:Vanessa L Ochs
“Yanagihara's most impressive trick is the way she glides from scenes filled with those terrifying hyenas to moments of epiphany. 'Wasn't it a miracle to have survived the unsurvivable? Wasn't friendship its own miracle, the finding of another person who made the entire lonely world seem somehow less lonely? Wasn't this house, this beauty, this comfort, this life a miracle?' A Little Life devotes itself to answering those questions, and is, in its own dark way, a miracle.” WorldWayLittlesPersonsMadeMomentsSeemsHouseDarkComfortSceneFindingsLonelyMiracleFilledTricksThis LifeSurvivedImpressiveEpiphanyHyenasLonely World Author:Marion Winik
“With the law books filled with a great assortment of crimes, a prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some act on the part of almost anyone. In such a case, it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who has committed it, it is a question of picking the man and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him.” MenBookLawPoliticalChanceCasesDemocracyCrimeHe ManFindingsFairsFilledCommittedDiscoveringOffensePinsViolationProsecutorInvestigatorsLaw Books Author:Robert H.

“I spent most of my teen years trying to figure out the rules of life, theories for why things happened, why people behaved as they did, and mostly I came to the conclusion that either there were no rules, or the rules sucked.

“Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us, not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry for this other silence. It is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing.” LifePersonsImportantHardMomentsRememberPeaceUnderstandingHealingSilencePowerStrengthAcceptanceBuildingCommunicationFindingsEmpathySelf ImprovementCriticismImportant ThingsFilledHungrySympathyInteractionRefugeSilence IsSanctuaryUnspokenGreat PowerMoments In TimeWithdrawalLack Of UnderstandingSilence Is GoldenInteracting With OthersLack Of EmpathyRemember Something Author:Rachel Naomi Remen
