8 " There is an art in making the everyday visible, in making the commonplace uncommon so that people can experience it as if it is the first time. So, why, out of every moment in your life, did you write about that one? "

13 " He thinks he loves all of me, but he doesn’t know all of me. He only knows the me in front of the wall of glass. "
14 " How did parents do it? How did they live every day knowing anything could happen to their kids? A drunk driver, a psychopath, a too-big bite of food could kill them. Babies sometimes just died in the middle of the night, and no one knew why. Bryce actually clutched his heart at the thought. "
