Audrey Niffenegger
we both smile and we are conspirators.
Audrey Niffenegger
When the woman you live with is an artist, every day is a surprise.
Audrey Niffenegger
Running is many things to me: survival, calmness, euphoria, solitude. It is proof of my corporeal existence, my ability to control my movement through space if not time, and the obedience, however temporary, of my body to my will. As I run I displace air, and things come and go around me, and the path moves like a filmstrip beneath my feet.
Audrey Niffenegger

Audrey Niffenegger

Audrey Niffenegger
My family isn't posh they're musicians.
Audrey Niffenegger
She looks up at me, still rocking. “Henry . . . why did me decide to do this again?” “Supposedly when it’s over they hand you a baby and let you keep it.” “Oh yeah.” --Wednesday, September 5, 2001
Audrey Niffenegger
What we need,' Henry says, 'is a fresh start. A blank slate. Let's call her Tabula Rasa.
Audrey Niffenegger
We laugh and laugh, and nothing can ever be sad, no one can be lost, or dead, or far away: right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, or steal the joy of this perfect moment.
Audrey Niffenegger
I wish for a moment that time would lift me out of this day, and into some more benign one. But then I feel guilty for wanting to avoid the sadness dead people need us to remember them, even if it eats us, even if all we can do is say I'm sorry until it is as meaningless air.
Audrey Niffenegger
It's hard being left behind. (...) It's hard to be the one who stays.
Audrey Niffenegger
