It's a jagged thing in my throat, how much I miss her.
Sara Zarr
That's how life feels to me. Everyone is doing it everyone knows how. To live and be who they are and find a place, find a moment. I'm still waiting.
Sara Zarr
the past only had whatever power you gave it life was what you made it and if you wanted something different from what you had, it was up to you to make it happen.
Sara Zarr
I wonder how you're supposed to know the exact moment when there's no more hope.
Sara Zarr
My whole life has been one big broken promise.
Sara Zarr
It's just so out of control. Life, I mean. The way it flies off in all these different directions without your permission.
Sara Zarr
The kind of life I want is to be a person who would get a personal note every day.
Sara Zarr
I looked at my hand resting on the shelf of the prop cabinet, thinking of the scars that were there whether anyone could see them or not.
Sara Zarr
I do have a little bit more confidence in - or at least familiarity with - my process. For example, when it feels like it's going badly or that I'm lost, I know I'll eventually find my way because I've been through it before. But writing itself is still hard.
Sara Zarr
There's a lot that is awful. That's the struggle of getting old. To make sure you don't let what's hard...obscure the beauty.
