“That's what's so gorgeous about humanity. It
doesn't matter how bleak our daily lives are, we still fight for the light. I
think that's our divinity. We lean into love, even in the most hideous circumstances.
We manage to hope."--Mary Karr, “The Art of Memoir No. 1,” interviewed by Amanda Fortini, The Paris Review (Winter 2009)
