That's how much living frightens and torments me.

During his twelve years in the community, he had never felt such simple moments of exquisite happiness.
~ Lois Lowry
So many things in the world have happened before. But it's like they never did. Every new thing that happens to a person, it's a first...

I felt stars.
~ Louise Erdrich

When she had him along, the world looked different, and she liked the way she saw things she'd never seen before. . .

His warm weight was like living ballast, thrumming with energy, giving her substance. Folks were drawn to that.
~ Ruth Ozeki
newer here? There were no dense brambles
~ Ruth Rendell
