Quotes 5: Elisabeth Tova Bailey

" Survival often depends on a specific focus: a relationship, a belief, or a hope balanced on the edge of a possibility. Or something more ephemeral: the way the sun passes through the hard, seemingly impenetrable glass of a window and warms the blanket, or how the wind, invisible but for its wake, is so loud one can hear it through the insulated walls of a house."
