Anne Tyler quote: "Bravest thing about people is how they go on loving mortal..."
Bravest thing about people is how they go on loving mortal beings after finding out there's such a thing as dying. Anne Tyler
Reading is the first to go," my mother used to say, meaning that it was a luxury the brain dispensed with under duress. She claimed that after my father died she never again picked up anything more demanding than the morning paper. At the time I had thought that was sort of melodramatic of her, but now I found myself reading the same paragraph six times over, and I still couldn't have told you what it was about. Anne Tyler
Anne Tyler quote: "he thought of dying as a kind of adventure, something new that..."
...he thought of dying as a kind of adventure, something new that he hadn't yet experienced. Like an unusual vacation trip. Anne Tyler
dying, you don't get to see how it all turns out. Questions you have asked will go unanswered forever. Will this one of my children settle down? Will that one learn to be happier? Will I ever discover what was meant by such-and-such? Anne Tyler
I used to toy with the notion that when we die we find out what our lives have amounted to, finally. I'd never imagined that we could find that out when somebody else dies. Anne Tyler
