"“This book is not mine. Nor is it just Diane’s. It’s a book about journalists and storytellers and how they join the world together. It’s also a book about a mother’s uncompromising love, and not just one mother, but a nation, or nations, of them."

“Towards the end of your life you have something like a pain schedule to fill out—a long schedule like a federal document, only it's your pain schedule. Endless categories. First, physical causes—like arthritis, gallstones, menstrual cramps. New category, injured vanity, betrayal, swindle, injustice. But the hardest items of all have to do with love.

“Language is like a road, it cannot be perceived all at once because it unfolds in time, whether heard or read. This narrative or temporal element has made writing and walking resemble each other.”
