Veros

“We must each be where we belong.” “What is belonging?” we ask. She says, “Where loneliness ends.”
― Rivers Solomon, The Deep

“The moon peeped in our windows, but she was pretty good at keeping secrets.”
― C.L. Polk, Even Though I Knew the End

“How can a novelist achieve atonement when, with her absolute power of deciding outcomes, she is also God? There is no one, no entity or higher form that she can appeal to, or be reconciled with, or that can forgive her. There is nothing outside her. In her imagination she has set the limits and the terms. No atonement for God, or novelists, even if they are atheists. It was always an impossible task, and that was precisely the point. The attempt was all.”
― Ian McEwan, Atonement

“There is a difference between understanding and forgiveness. It’s possible to have one without the other.”
― Genevieve Gornichec, The Witch's Heart
